Copera’s Garden, Granada, Spain

西班牙格拉納達　歌劇院花園俱樂部

Tomás García Píriz Studio

In the surroundings of the city of Granada, immersed in the agricultural void of the rural environment of La Vega, the periphery is shown through its other “cities”: dotted and unstructured urban developments, agricultural infrastructures, contemporary ruins of abandoned farms, centers commercial and, of course, industrial parks. The club Industrial Copera is located in one of these harsh industrial spaces, a paradigmatic musical center within the national scene. The need, as a result of COVID-19, to expand its outdoor musical offerings and other cultural activities leads it to occupy the adjacent parking lot to convert it into a stage space.

The project arises from the fusion of the vocabulary of the garden and that of the peripheral industry. Materials and techniques from the industrial field are displaced to build a musical infrastructure halfway between the city and the countryside: projected concrete, thermal insulation of facades, prefabricated, metal reinforcement, formwork sheets or parking pavements are recontextualized when associated with vines, trees and planters. The result is a new hybrid landscape that allows the fertile substrate of the countryside to sprout again, wrapping a raised architecture that forms an interior patio, a crater, in which to isolate yourself from the noisy exterior space. A protected space is thus delimited by a dark wall that underlines the presence of the nearby vegetation and the mountains and the sky in the distance. In the lower part there are entrances, bar, toilets, stage and stalls. A higher level enables a privileged box, a space dumped on the stage and the views. Both levels are connected by a lowered ladder that in turn acts as a piece of furniture to support the bar.

本案位於西班牙格拉納達市，周圍分布著農業用基礎設施、廢棄的農場廢墟、商業中心與工業園區，而歌劇院花園俱樂部便是位於生硬的工業空間之中，屬於美國典型的音樂中心代表。受 COVID-19 疫情影響，業主需要擴大其戶外音樂產品和其他文化活動，因此才導致他將相鄰的停車場改造成如今的娛樂空間。

該項目源於花園元素與周邊產業詞彙的融合。工業領域的材料和技術被取代，以在城市和鄉村之間建立一個音樂基礎設施，像是從投影混凝土到金屬模板，都與藤蔓、樹木等綠植都被重新定位。其結果是一個全新的混合景觀，暗示讓鄉村肥沃的基質再次發芽，包裹一個拔地而起的建築並形成一處內部庭院，彷若一個火山口，在其中將自己與嘈雜的外部空間隔離開來。因此，受保護的空間由一堵深色的牆壁劃定，突出了附近植被以及遠處山脈和天空的存在；空間下層有入口、酒吧、廁所、舞台和攤位；上層是更高級別的包廂；兩層都通過同個梯子連接起來，而梯子又作為一件家具來支撐酒吧結構。
