"I would like people to feel like they are inside a live whale."

Concept design for a permanent installation
The Canodrom used to house dog races and be the center of life in an area of Barcelona. As the Canodrom shut down, the neighborhood lost part of its soul. The building is now being rehabilitated as an incubator, so we proposed a concept for an installation that would both evoke its friendly past and bring a new life to the building.
We are also hoping to create a way for the people of the neighborhood to interact with this structure and reinvest the surrounding area as a living space.
