Description
Summary:The objective of this project is quite simply to single out and magnify the experience of walking from the roadside down to the seaside at this very special place. Therefore, a chief concern was to slow down this movement and make the path itself a means of refocusing the experiential mode: a measured, restrained approach that creates awareness. The primary functional concern was universal accessibility. Instead of opting for a dual solution with staircase and ramp, we came up with the notion of making the ramp the common entryway and developing it into the integral character of the project. El objetivo de este proyecto es simplemente destacar y magnificar la experiencia de caminar desde la carretera hasta la orilla del mar en este lugar tan singular. Por lo tanto, una de las principales preocupaciones era frenar la erosión y el movimiento y hacer del camino un medio para reenfocar el modo experiencial: un enfoque mesurado y sobrio que crea conciencia. La principal preocupación funcional era la accesibilidad universal. En lugar de optar por una solución dual con escalera y rampa, se nos ocurrió la idea de hacer de la rampa la entrada común y convertirla en el elemento integral del proyecto.
