| Sumario: | [EN] Between 1968 and 1975, Georges Candilis and Anja Blomstedt conceived the Hexacube, a plastic cell targeting mass tourism, first shown in Le Barcarès-Leucate, France. Both a piece of architecture and an industrial product, it was efficiently designed as a purchase item. The proposal, however, was scrapped after the first oil crisis in 1973. The images illustrating this singular project, from its conceptualization to its completion, hold a particularly symbolic dimension in terms of its social and cultural context along with the means of representation and dissemination adopted by architects at the time. From this point of view, our research is set to analyze a series of graphic documents preserved at the Centre d Archives d Architecture Contemporaine in Paris, focusing on the design process, the technical development and the press coverage of this iconic item. |
