“Un collage tridimensional, una construcción en el intersticio estético-espacial entre la arquitectura y la escultura, entre la función y la contemplación, entre el sitio específico y el paisaje, entre el ambiente y el uso.”
J.G. sobre T.H.
El proyecto H.U.M. (habitación de usos múltiples) consistió en la construcción de una pequeña habitación exterior de usos múltiples diurnos.
Instalada en una parte no utilizada del predio de la hacienda de Guapamacátaro, zona rural del estado de Michoacán, México. Elegimos para el asentamiento el sitio adecuado teniendo en cuenta practicidad, circulación de personas, factores climáticos y geográficos.
Dimensiones aproximadas 300 x 260 x 230 cm.
Trabajamos previamente en Buenos Aires el anteproyecto del diseño de la casilla con la colaboración de las arquitectas Marina Zucon y Sofía Picozzi.
Para la construcción utilizamos materiales encontrados en el lugar (placas de madera, listones, puertas, muebles rotos, etc.) que restauramos y ensamblamos. Para la estructura se usaron vigas de madera, y chapas de pvc traslucido para el techo.
La obra fue pensada como habitáculo-laboratorio en el cual desarrollamos diversas actividades que involucraron a la comunidad local y a los artistas en residencia. Trabajamos con el concepto de caja china, como punto de partida que permitió versatilidad y diversidad de funciones en la construcción-centro de actividades-escultura.
La intensión inicial fue disparar modos creativos de proyectar y resolver situaciones inmediatas, en la cual lo social, lo comunitario y lo artístico estuvieran amalgamados y que a su vez sirvieran como plataforma o germen de proyectos futuros.
Algunas de las actividades desarrolladas fueron: clases de español, presentaciones de música en vivo, un taller sobre cultivo de hongos comestibles, un evento de hipnosis en animales, Badmignton, sorteo de libros, clases de yoga y otras. El hecho de que la casilla fue dispuesta muy cerca de una escuela rural hizo que los niños utilizaran y se apropiaran del espacio transformándolo por momentos en centro de actividades de recreación infantil.

" A three-dimensional collage, a construction in the aesthetic - spatial interstice between the architecture and the sculpture, between the function and the contemplation, between the site specific and the landscape, between the environment and the use. " J.G. on T.H.
H.U.M. Multi Purpose Room consisted on the building of a freestanding dwelling unit for multiple daytime uses. It was installed in a private abandoned area in the Hacienda de Guapamacataro (Mexico) only used as green for animals. We choose the suitable site for the building bearing in mind, persons' traffic, climatic and geographical factors.
The size of the construction was 300 x 260 x 230 cm.
We worked out the idea before the building in collaboration with two architects in Buenos Aires, Marina Zucon and Sofia Picozzi.
For the construction we used found materials available at the area of the Hacienda (like wood, strips, doors, old furniture, etc.) that we restored. For the structure were used girders of wood, and transparent pvc for the roof.
Thw work was thought as an experimental space where we developed and offered diverse activities that involved the community and the artists in residency. We had in mind the idea of chinese box (a never ending set of boxes that unfold and open up) that allowed us to versatility in the functions of the work: building-center of activities-sculpture.
Our intention was to trigger in visitors creative ways of facing immediate situations where the social, the community or the aesthetic were blended and could be used as a platform for future projects.
Spanish language classes, music events, organic mushrooms growing classes, animal hypnosis, badmington championship, books given as souvenirs, fireworks, tea ceremony, were some of the activities held at H.U.M. during the residency. Also the fact that the room was setled at a short distance from a rural school helped it to be used and taken by children for freeform activities.
