FRESA CONCÉNTRICO: Innovation in Parametric Design and Ephemeral Architecture

"Strawberry" is an innovative and eye-catching installation created for the prestigious Logroño International Festival of Architecture and Design "Concentrico". This parametric design project involved the conception, parameterisation and construction of a strawberry-shaped structure, demonstrating the skill of EXarchitects in collaboration with Gerardo Gorris and the author of the work Oana Stănescu.

“Strawberry”, is an ephemeral architectural installation designed by Oana Stănescu and built by EXarchitects and Gerardo Gorris for the 19th edition of the prestigious International Festival of Architecture and Design of Logroño “Concéntrico” in which 60 professionals from 15 countries participated, organised by Javier Peña together with the Cultural Foundation of the Architects of La Rioja. This project stands out for its use of parametric design to create a strawberry-shaped structure covered in pigmented fibreglass.

Fresa - Oana Stănescu en Concéntrico

Romanian architect currently building in North America and Europe. Her studio’s work is an undisciplined collection of projects of different scales, programmes and collaborators, always in search of the affectation of physical space. He is based in New York and Berlin. He teaches at Harvard GSD and MIT in Cambridge, USA.

Design and Construction

The project began with a NURBS surface meticulously modelled by the artist which was then parameterised, calculated and designed into a poplar plywood structure. This core was overlaid with layers of pigmented fibreglass sheets, creating a visual impact that captivated festival-goers.

Ephemeral and temporary architecture

“Strawberry” is a testament to the potential of parametric design to create temporary yet impactful architectural pieces. EXarchitects were deeply involved from inception to completion of the project, demonstrating their ability to deliver innovative and high quality designs.
