D38 Office, Arata Isozaki Architects

Distretto 38 is a project of a 70,000 square meter office park developed on a 35,000 square meter lot.
The area is located at the foot of the Montjuic hill, west of Barcelona, in an area full of office projects currently under development, converting the area into an important tertiary center located near the airport and the port.
Isozaki foresees a great diversity of office spaces since the end use and needs of these offices are still unknown, an open system has been chosen that allows rear reorganization based on new and developing needs.

Construction 1 was conceived as a parallelepiped, measuring 52.5 x 52.5 meters on the sides with a height of 46.5 meters, and equipped with a central core from which parts will be subtracted from the volume perimeter. This "subtraction game" leads to a better position adaptation, a hierarchy in the different facades, and more adaptability in the creation of offices, ideal in a highly fluctuating market. The office plan is available in two distinct types: the L form and the C form, and the interior of each can be organized and sold as one, two or three units.
