Sticks and Stones of [Flood + Drought]

"Sticks and Stones" is an architectural project in Girona, Spain, designed to address climate extremes like floods and droughts. Using the act of limestone mining as a core concept, the project creates terraces that appear or disappear with changing water levels from the Onyar River. Excavated voids serve as flood reservoirs and transform into a community museum during droughts. The project fosters environmental awareness and community engagement through this dynamic relationship with water. Social housing is designed vertically to minimize environmental impact, allowing the site to evolve with future needs.
