Raw

Rammed earth for tactical public space extension.


RAW is a prototype that supports free, safe play in the city through the temporary transformation of public space. It is an open, modular system made up of prefabricated, reusable and recyclable rammed earth units, which can be arranged in different configurations. This generates levels, sequences, and nooks that endow the public space with qualities that attract activities associated with school environments. RAW represents a commitment to a non-extractive, adaptable public design that offers infinite opportunities for play.

RAW is part of Cross-KIC New European Bauhaus, a project promoted and financed by the European Union (EIT-Urban Mobility).

Support for RAW was provided by CARNET, Barcelona City Council and Antoni Brusi school. The prototype was designed and fabricated by an Elisava Research team led by Roger Paez, PhD. The prototype was tested in Barcelona in December 2021 and shared in open-source code so it can be implemented throughout Europe.
