Barbieri House

Raul Diaz   Sophie Smyth    Moritz Ullmann

We are going to work with the Barbieri 30m² house in Madrid, from the architect Manuel Ocaña.  Beriberi 30m2 house is a small penthouse that was designed 18 years ago on a 200 year old site. For this project we have chosen Alzheimer's as our neurological illness, which is a degenerative mental and physical disease, to modify the house according to it.
In the following you can see our letter.

"Dear Manuel Ocaña,

We are a group of three student of the Universidad de Alicante, and we are doing a project with our professor Javier Sanchez Merina, working with buildings of  former professors of the UA. For our project we choose your house Barbieri 30m² in Madrid, because we really like your way of dealing with the small amout of space and the interior composition. We are going to work with your house during the whole semester, so it would be really nice if you could send us more information about it.  We already have found some ground plans and pictures on the internet,  but it would be great if you could send us more information. For example some technical details,  exterior pictures and elevations. If there is more information or special thoughts that come to your mind considering this project and its history, we would be really happy if you would share them with us.

Best regards and thank you in advance."
