Abstract


The hills surrounding Santiago show that their smooth rounded shapes are not too well hidden under the stones of the old city, if we go into the town through Xoan XXIII Avenue, we can see them crop up, not without effort, between Nova and Vella Streets, and descend, with more than one bump, down to the river at the bottom. The project reduces itself to regain the former natural shapes. At the very edge of the historic perimeter, the ancient space has been recovered, now in stone, to make it a place of arrival and welcoming. It also serves for vehicles to go through and stop, but now, not only that. It may well simply be an abstract space, standing still, prior to the promise announced by the disturbing towers in the back.
