When you ask most architects what their favorite material is, it\u2019s as if you asked a multiple choice question: stone, concrete, metal, glass, wood or all of the above? Jos\u00e9 Selgas and Luc\u00eda Cano are not like most architects. They prefer unusual, industrial-grade materials whose names are long enough to rival the alphabet: ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), polymethyl methacrylate (acrylic<\/a>) and polycarbonate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The architects, partners in the Madrid-based design practice SelgasCano<\/a>, have spent the better part of two decades exploring the possibilities of plastics, arguing that these oft-maligned materials can be used to create ethereal, lightweight and, yes, even sustainable buildings. Beginning with their initial experiments in Spain and culminating with their psychedelic\u00a0Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London, we look back on the pair’s imaginative plastic fa\u00e7ades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plasencia Auditorium and Congress Center<\/strong><\/a> by SelgasCano<\/a>, Plasencia, Spain<\/p>\n

Plastic manufactured by Polimer Tecnic<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The auditorium in Plasencia, one of SelgasCano\u2019s earliest projects, was conceived in the midst of the global financial crisis. Determined to create an attractive and energy efficient fa\u00e7ade on a shoestring budget, the architects opted to wrap the entire building in a translucent skin of ETFE foil.<\/p>\n

The faceted volume emerges from the landscape like a rock formation, a geode waiting to be cracked open. Its white fa\u00e7ade belies a vibrant interior filled with multicolored acrylic walls, brightly painted ceilings and dyed rubber flooring. This color palette encourages movement, gradually shifting from neon oranges in the lobby to an icy turquoise in the main auditorium. At night, light bounces off these surfaces and glows invitingly through the translucent cladding.<\/p>\n

El \u201cB\u201d<\/strong><\/a> by SelgasCano<\/a>, Cartagena, Spain<\/p>\n

Plastic manufactured by Polimer Tecnic<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The El Batel Auditorium, El \u201cB\u201d for short, is a lengthy building that runs parallel to the port of Cartagena, along a scenic promenade formerly inhabited by factories and warehouses. Its boxy, corrugated fa\u00e7ade recalls this history, bringing to mind the shipping container stacks that once dotted the waterfront.<\/p>\n

The main elevation is clad in a shiplap of transparent, V-shaped acrylic profiles. The second story profiles are overlaid with a brise soleil of tubular polycarbonate louvers. Both materials were extruded with florescent pigments to produce subtle striations across the fa\u00e7ade. They are also both supported, without visible fasteners, by stainless steel clips,\u00a0reinforcing the horizontality and lightness of the architecture.<\/p>\n

Second Home Offices<\/strong><\/a> by SelgasCano<\/a>, London, United Kingdom<\/p>\n

Plastic manufactured by Polimer Tecnic<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Second Home is a chain of co-working spaces in London, Lisbon and Los Angeles. Recently, the fast growing company tapped SelgasCano to design a number of additional locations, the most outstanding of which occupies a former carpet factory in London\u2019s East End.<\/p>\n

The new interior is organized by a clusters of bubble-like workspaces inscribed in clear, thermoformed acrylic. These curvaceous partitions resolve several functional and aesthetic concerns, perfectly balancing daylighting, sightlines and acoustics with an open, free-flowing plan. The resulting design is so fluid that is appears to spill out of the old brick fa\u00e7ade, forming a public coffee bar below an undulant, acrylic awning.<\/p>\n

Merida Factory Youth Movement<\/strong><\/a> by SelgasCano<\/a>, Merida, Spain<\/p>\n

Plastic manufactured by Polimer Tecnic<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Factory is a combination youth center and park in Merida that provides opportunities for playing, skateboarding, rock climbing, acrobatics, dance, street theater and more, under the protection of an amorphous, orange canopy.<\/p>\n

The canopy is supported by a steel space frame, clad on all sides in polycarbonate paneling. The architects selected a highly corrugated, “mini wave” panel which offers maximum durability despite being less than 1\/4-inch thick. The roof panels are opaque to block heat from the intense Merida sun. The soffits and walls below are translucent and illuminated internally to enhance public safety. As the sun begins to set, these luminous fa\u00e7ades become animated by the silhouettes of children playing.<\/p>\n

Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2015<\/strong><\/a> by SelgasCano<\/a>, London, United Kingdom<\/p>\n

Plastic manufactured by Polimer Tecnic<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2015, SelgasCano was invited to design the 15th\u00a0<\/sup>annual Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London. Though not apparent at first glance, their pavilion is an homage to the fourteen structures that preceded it, great works of architecture distilled down to their most basic elements: space, light and material.<\/p>\n

In plan, the pavilion resembles an X chromosome with four bent wings that converge to form a single sinuous interior. The strange shape was dictated by its cladding, sheets and ribbons of ETFE stretched to the limit across arched steel frames. Their surfaces were digitally printed with 19 colors in three finishes \u2014 opaque, translucent and mirrored \u2014 which cast kaleidoscopic patterns on the polished concrete floor. \u201cThe whole pavilion for us was a kind of an experiment. We wanted to test different things with a new material \u2026 to try out different shadows, colors and effects which we haven’t tested before,\u201d explained<\/a> Jos\u00e9 Selgas, \u201cThe experiment is also very much related to the people that are going to visit the pavilion. We want them to decide how to interpret the pavilion, how they want to move around. It’s very free in that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
