Pixel Cloud is an evolutionary building, which adapts to the climatic and conjunctural circumstances of its environment at different scales. The approach to the project was carried out in different phases defined in layers; such as thermodynamics, structure, energy, water, envelope and finally the synthesis of all the previous ones. At each step Pixel Cloud tried to stay consistent with the ideas of adaptability and customization, using the time as an element of the project. Thus, the building evolves from the smallest detail of housing, to its configuration on the volumetric scale, being able to increase or decrease and change its function in the future. The goal was also to transfer the advantages of vernacular single family dwelling architecture to collective housing. Thus, it was intended to use a combination of wood and local/national materials such as clay or cork, both for its aesthetic and functional value and availability, seeking the minimum ecological impact: the project becomes an exploration to achieve a greater presence of natural-based materials in a large-scale building.
