The promenade acts both as a catalyst for architecture and as a meeting and connections pace for a historically divided city.The place proposes the intervention, the routes formalize it and the solar orientation defines it.

So, we decided to adopt the cannel by integrating it as a configuring element of the project: the architecture adapts and traces a fore shortening that saves the mouth by incorporating it as part of its access patio. Thereby, the new place arises from what was always there. In addition, la Bajada de la Virgen de las Nieves as an event of singular relevance that is repeated every five years, requires a more comfortable and versatile space.

The tours have a widerange of possibilities. Some of them revolve around the main building, either going down a slight incline through the access plaza to the Museum, going up the Library by gente ramps or crossing itreaching the coast. Other sextend to San Fernando Square and turn along there habilitated path going up towards the La Encarnación’s panoramic view point and La Virgen’s Castle. Likewise, it could continue to the Baluarte and the new plaza in front of the sea, which will host there stored backs of the traditional buildings and also the tapa building (a narrow construction, which is attached to the party wall showing a wooden lattice façade inspired by nearby agricultural terraces). We build with what is available, using materials and close strategies. Galleries and terraces sifted by natural Wood lattices, open to the south, the city and the landscape. To the north and ocean, a basalt-stained concrete wall has been shuttered with Wood assemblies. Its portholes, which overlook the sea, allude to the near by buildings. On its roof, a gazebo garden completes the public space. Trying to achieve a contemporary image materialized with traditional techniques.
