假体。Caffe del Popolo是那些在城市中经常被理解为无法使用或过时的空间中出现的实验之一。该项目是在Nueva Córdoba社区两个街区的公寓之间的一个三角形空隙中进行的。一种被其环境压缩的感觉引发了对这个围墙设计的初步探索，从一开始就被设想为一个能够融入空隙的物体，作为一个 “城市的假体”。该项目提出了一种进入密集的城市环境的方式，并从它产生对城市的行动。

Prosthesis. Caffe del Popolo is one of those experiments that arise in spaces that are often understood as unusable or obsolete in the city. The project was carried out in a triangular void between two blocks of apartments in the Nueva Córdoba neighborhood. A perception of compression by its context triggered the initial exploration for the design of this enclosure, which from the beginning was conceived as an object capable of fitting into the void, as an “urban prosthesis”. The project proposes a way to enter a dense urban environment and to generate action from it towards the city.

流动性。插入这样一个被如此大的建筑包围的小空间，将压缩的想法强加在整个过程中进行的不同探索上。也许这也是对角落位置和当前时代的液体、动态和流动的感知，指挥着项目的正式行动。在使用方面的流动性也决定了设计行动，即如何在底层产生一个尽可能向街道开放的空间。

Fluidity. The insertion of such a small space surrounded by such large buildings imposed the idea of compression on the different explorations carried out throughout the process. Perhaps it is also the liquid, dynamic and fluid perception of the corner location and the current times that commanded the formal actions of the project. The fluidity in terms of use also determined design actions with the question of how to generate a space that is as open as possible towards the street on the ground floor level.

材料的探索。一个带有断头台开口的金属底座被使用，能够在不忽视功能要求的情况下实现对街道的最大连接。在内部空间中，通过数字制造的方式创建了一个镂空和涂漆的木质包层，其颜色和形式构成的灵感都来自于咖啡植物。一个现有的金属结构被用于上层的五个玻璃纤维板。这些面板保护了其中两层的内部：一层是浴室，另一层是存款。

Material Exploration. A metallic base with a guillotine opening was used, capable of achieving a maximum connection towards the street without neglecting the functional requirements. In the interior space, a routed and lacquered wood cladding was created by the means of digital fabrication, inspired both in its color and in its formal composition by the coffee plant. An existing metal structure was used for the upper levels with five fibreglass panels. These panels protect two of the levels towards the inside: one with a bathroom and the other with a deposit.

街道。使用街道是一个基本的前提，不仅是因为内部空间的减少，而且还因为其意图是为街道的过境空间提供一个暂停，一个沉思的空间，利用科尔多瓦的城市景观在该地区提供的优势，如建筑师Ignacio Togo Diaz的住宅楼，Buen Pastor文化大道，La Iglesia de Los Capuchinos教堂和建筑师Osvaldo Ponz的Baoro大楼。在咖啡馆的外墙上创建了一个内部/外部支持面，一个平台上有两个移动的金属凳子，和固定的城市家具（Rarx长椅），由混凝土和金属制成，位于人行道的路边。Rarx长椅象征性地综合了项目的核心理念，思考与公共空间有关的材料、形式和功能的反映。

The Street. Using the street was a fundamental premise, not only because of the reduced interior space, but also because the intention was to provide that transit space of the street with a pause, a space for contemplation, taking advantage of what the urban landscape of Córdoba offers in the area, such as the residential building by the architect Ignacio Togo Diaz, the Cultural Avenue Buen Pastor, the church La Iglesia de Los Capuchinos and the Baoro Building by the architect Osvaldo Ponz. An interior/exterior support surface was created on the cafe’s façade, a platform where two mobile metal stools are located, and fixed urban furniture (Rarx Bench) made of concrete and metal, located on the curb of the sidewalk. The Rarx benches symbolically synthesize the core idea of the project, contemplating material, formal and functional reflections in relation to public space.
