Background
The municipality sought to reverse the neglect and danger that had taken root in the neighborhood through cultural promotion in this and other parts of the district. In response, the strategy was to preserve a few abandoned lots adjoining public parks by activating a creative process that involved park users, neighbors, the municipality and the environment. The project explores a silent, hidden architecture in order to build a social landscape that adds a proper, timeless and aesthetic sensibility to everyday life. In this manner, it sought a place of encounters, reflection, joy and wonder in a setting that blends with nature. The design materializes sensations, creates dreams, wishes and honors the craft of construction with local handwork adapted to new, contemporary experiences. It creates and contains a pause from a dizzying world within a space whose raw materials are defined by mass and light.
