Modulorbeat – Temporary Buildings

Monday, October 25, 2010



Modulorbeat is the German-based practice of Marc Günnewig and Jan Kampshoff, and is best known for temporary buildings. Their design studio is based in Münster, Germany.

One of these architectural group best known projects is the Kubik in Barcelona.
Kubik is a temporary light-room-installation created to revitalize bare areas by an innovative fusion: a group of tanks illuminated in green, which correspond to the beat of minimal electronic music, create a unique visual experience within an extraordinary object of design. Situated in Parc del Forum, at the sea front end of Avenida Diagonal, it was a club, creating two light spaces separetad by a stair case, in Pink (Kubikita) and in green (cubic).
It’s a temporary structure, a modular building designed to be moved, after it’s been used it’s dismounted and the place is restored to its original state. :(?
But maybe the short period of time, when the building was there, it created a life and consciousness of the area that will never be experienced again.
