Edificio Celosia means Lattice building. This social housing project is an alternative solution to the closed block. The proposal aspires to be a construction system rather than a unique building. The block, in the form of lattice, mixes 30 constructed boxes and 30 empty spaces. Those empty spaces are for intermediate neighbourhood life. The volumes contain homes of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms and the vertical courtyards are common spaces open to crossed perspectives in all directions. The birds, wind and the sun cut through the building. The mold building system tests the effectiveness and quality of a faster and more sustainable construction. (text from website Blanca Lleo)
