NUEVA ATALAYA
The site of Rio Tinto is located in Andalusia, Spain. Home of one of the biggest man-made open pit mine that has been subjected to several changes throughout the ages. From man-made expansions, to natural erosion caused by the rain and the flooding of the pit. This two forces colliding served as an inspiration to bring architecture in harmony with the lands
very good treatment of the project surfaces. highly controlled integration and rupture with the landscape. creative design of intervening materials and textures. good spatial sequence. poetic images. The plants, however, are too schematic and orthogonal, as if they belonged to another project.
The initial concept is convincing. The development of the project allows us to adequately read the intention to integrate the design into the context. Symbkosis is achieved both on a functional/ geometric and visual level. The quality of the presentation is also adequate for the design intentions. Well done.
Let's assemble our ruins to make memories.
Syria is a land of different cultures and people, and this is a great gift, but sometimes great things can lead to great nothingness. Here the war was born in a state of diversity and non-unity. Certainly, in post-war situation the best way is to develop public spaces like plazas in the cities and, most importantly, in the historic downtown of Aleppo.
A strong and well-researched thesis that successfully transforms vernacular knowledge into a contemporary architectural language. Further testing of the design in everyday and climatic conditions could make this thoughtful approach even stronger.
