Cubo3 – winning proposal of elCASC 2014 competition – is more than a common pavilion: it’s at the same time a re-interpretation of Villena’s historic center, a shelter from the Sun, and an excuse to bring together two different communities, giving the main square of the Spanish city a temporary public roof symbolically supported by the city itself.

Using the materials available on the deposit of the Municipality, the installation brought poetry and atmosphere to the city, creating a versatile space for all the citizens: people, children, and old people moved its elements and organized the space as they wanted. It has been used as a public stage, as a huge screen, as a set for conferences, as a pic-nic place, as a common playground, and as a place to try to break the walls of segregation and marginality.
