PAKAS

Castilla, Spain, 2024–2026

Across the agricultural landscape of Castilla, stacks of straw bales temporarily formwalls, rooms, façades and monumental volumes. Built without architects and destined todisappear, these structures emerge from the repetition of a single agricultural module. PAKAS looks at them as an accidental form of architecture: constructions shaped bynecessity, material and landscape, existing somewhere between building, monumentand ruin.
