The heart as the biological central piece of the unconscious Human and its association with raw emotions; its continuous pumping, pushing the blood through the circulatory system, by rhythmic contraction, creating an endless flux.
Alchemy Circle as the heart of Boom Festival 2022 is a place of fluidity with it’s open plan, allowing for a free immersive experience in the dance floor; a place of connection where the veins act as portals purposefully aligned with the strongest elements in Boom Land: the lake, the sky, the forest and the sunset, connecting the outside to the innermost space of the dancefloor; a place of grounding where the tall arches reach the sky and come down discharging their energy in the earth, forming the shape of the heart coming out of the land.
The skin that covers the structure is a fragmented mesh of polygons that creates a sense of direction towards the artist performing. The overlapping of different layers, shapes and colors of the skin promotes continuous air flow inside the structure and protects dancers from the sun.
Throughout the inside space, the wooden arches and skin layers come alive with the light and sound design, immersing boomers in a collective and pulsating rhythmic experience.

Portal de Palma was a participative portal-shaped installation focused on the collective memory of Palma’s neighbourhood, made of 144 stools. Each stool holds a fragment of memory shared by the inhabitants through a woodprint system on top of each seat.
Over the course of three weeks, the 144 memory-stoolswere built through a participatory in-situ workshop that involved residents, local shopkeepers and occasional passers-by. One of the main goals of this artistic installation was the inhabitants involvement and the activation / appropriation of the public space. A call for remembrance that fosters a tight relationship between the people and the installation achieved through emotional times.

Precarious shacks without water and sanitation are the homes and lifestyle of nearly 500 people - about 30% children - who live in an informal settlement in Costa da Caparica. This neighbourhood, called Terras da Costa, has been inhabited for thirty years by these people.
Terras da Costa is an isolated territory, invisible to most people, where the locals feel forgotten except for frequent severe police interventions. Many of the families use campfires to cook inside or near their homes, which is a public safety hazard in neighbourhood without water.
This project was conceived and designed by means of an extensive and highly participatory process, in which the communities of Terras da Costa were always present and actively involved in the discussion. The construction process was accompanied by activities aimed at helping the community acquire tools to manage and develop the kitchen, its utility rules and regulations, users rights and duties.
A broad international team of architects, urbanists, carpenters, artists, social mediators, as well as a growing number of volunteers have joined the project, making it bigger and better. The simple wooden framing technique and the numerous activities around the building site allow everyone to become part of the project.
The construction becomes a moment for knowledge-sharing and hands-on learning.

“The Arch” was a cultural project developed in a research and technological park in the Waterschei mine, located in Genk, Belgium.
Constructlab coordinated this project, a European network that Warehouse is part of. The project took place between May and September and as a Colectivo Warehouse's member I participated in the construction phase.
In the activation phase the space worked as a temporary research laboratory focused on the infinite possibilities of creation with recycled plastic.
With several participants, guests and a festival program, the second phase of the building’s life was marked by its daily use as a place for socializing, meeting and appropriation by the local community.

For the second edition of On a marché sur la Têt, an event to promote the banks of the river Têt project, we propose an ephemeral installation in kit form : the Casse-Têt.
The aim is to prefigure the furniture that will mark out the future 27 km trail between St Féliu d’Avall and Canet-en-Roussillon. Inviting curiosity, play and relaxation, the Casse-Têt is a micro-landscape to be discovered and explored ; alternately public bench, playground, signal tower, rest area or even dance floor or stage.
