The Square Box, Pyramid Structures

© Alejo Bague
Designed by the OAB in 2010, these wonderful, interesting structures, located in Spain are something I've never seen before. The architecture is bold, simple, and very sculptural. The community is economically and environmentally friendly. (ABOVE) A pathway connects the structures. The community features a school, central dining area, and bedroom house. The trees soften the structures. The trees are modern, like the structures. Very thin and simple! (BELOW 1) The facade of the structure is uncluttered of architectural details. Simple cutouts for the windows and a solid muted color. (BELOW 2) When I look at these structures, Egypt and the great pyramids come to mind. Even though these structures are far less grand and much less detailed, they still follow a similar design with their pitched roof. (BELOW 3) The structures are perched up on wood platforms. This prevents flooding and from standing on a cold floor. What do you think of this community designed by OAB?
