Description.
The project is about pushing people up in the air of 2 meters. From then the rest of the decisions have been taken. A grid made of small pilasters gives the logic and the freedom which are necessary in this project. The extension of these are not precise, so somebody could change the plan on them, move a path or an element as needed.
Once the grid was fixed, the first goal was to do a fluid path from the road to the beach and it is what in the drawings I have called main path. It's un-linear shape moves around in search of the less slope possible. So this is the path for everybody, on foot or wheels. A secondary path is a little bit more adventurous, brings to some spots where to stop and experience the wetland. The material changes, while the first path is made of thin steel, inserach of performance, this collateral path looks for something different. Is a more "stupid path, it follows the lines of the grid or the south/est > north/west orientation of the wetland and the vegetation, with the hope of finding intersting view points or simply a contact with the nature of the wetland. However there’s only one spot, made of ropes, like an amaca, where the experince makes you go closer to the vegetation. Other spots bring you high in search of a better view, others bring you to the solitude. There's one path to follow which takes you to the up of the hill. Here into a little cabin, inclined to let you lean on, you can look foward to the sea.
