Rubén Bodewig and Alejandro Soriano. Architects at ESCALAR "Actions along the coast: La Británica, Parque del Mar and Explanada".

At ESCALAR we work with absolute commitment to the quality of our projects, which leads us to develop solutions in which sustainability, design, economy, technique and quality complement and balance each other in all aspects of our projects.

Our office operates from the Mediterranean coast of Spain, offering innovative solutions to global architectural needs. We are a young team of professionals with experience and capacity to develop projects in architecture, landscape, urbanism, infrastructure and design, as well as consulting and project advisory services.

Our professional trajectory has opened doors for us to develop projects of all scales, in which we have offered our vision and commitment to contemporary architecture in interventions of all scales: from landscape, infrastructure and urbanism, to small works of furniture, lighting and parametric design, including buildings, public facilities, rehabilitations, housing, ephemeral and commercial architecture.

We are committed to offering the best of technique and tradition in all aspects of our work, from rehabilitation to modular architecture and prefabrication, bringing great precision to our projects in all phases, from conception to completion of construction, which generates an optimization of economy and materials, improving performance and work times, and guaranteeing an efficient result for the client while reducing the ecological footprint of construction.

We work to personalize and conceive unique and singular projects for each client, because we know that each person lives and perceives spaces in a unique and unrepeatable way, generating new questions, which we want our projects to answer.

Coordinated by Santiago Varela and in collaboration with the Territorial College of Architects

The architecture table

General public ... , 29.01.2015 - 17.12.2026

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Alicante whose collections are formed by works created fundamentally in the twentieth century. They range from the so-called avant-gardes to all the approaches and artistic manifestations that took place in the decades of the second half of the past century. They are expressed on different supports and materials, with diverse dimensions and techniques. In turn, the temporary exhibitions are related to these collections and allow for expanding or deepening some aspects of contemporary chronology. However, contemporary architecture is absent from both the permanent collections and those temporary manifestations.The architecture of the MACA itself, a project created and directed by the Sancho Madridejos Studio, is a beautiful building of great functional efficiency. The syncopated projection of horizontal and vertical spaces establishes a formal order based on the geometry and texture of the materials used in construction, while revealing a kind of tension resolved by the overhead passage of light, a kind of "felt" spirituality more emotional than real.The MACA proposes in a conversational format, meetings around art and architecture around the architect's table. In the MACA Library, the last Thursdays of each month, from January to May 2015.This first cycle will consist of different manifestations. The first and fundamental one will show works by an architect related through his vital and professional activity to the province of Alicante. The selection criterion will be conditioned by the modernity of the proposals, understanding that modernity, first of all, in a chronological sense, attending to those architectures and architects who were protagonists and participants in the advent of contemporaneity. The exhibition of some models will allow for offering three-dimensional models, reclaiming the model as such, as the authors of the Renaissance defended. And to illustrate the complete work process, sketches and preliminary drawings will be shown alongside the project plans and notes developed during the construction process. All of this with the ultimate aim of understanding and grasping in some way the constructed space.The architect's table, a table from 1912, real and present (deposited in the MACA by its owner Alfonso Navarro Guzmán), serves as an ideological foundation to link the exhibitions and will serve as the material support for the models so that we can traverse, while dreaming, the imagined space.
