Recovering-intervening in what exists + creating-manipulating landscape and controlling views.

The path as a link relating meanders: what happens in each part (the path's surroundings) becomes more important than the axis itself.

Taking the Acropolis as a reference, one evidences that occupying runes totally may not be the best solution, but combining the  occupation - non occupation - prolongation of these spaces appears to be a better choice. That is, creating opened-to-weather spots strongly related to the climate and, consequently, bringing a less urban approach.

 

"Landscape mustn't be a permanent imposition but a choice (...) orienting the openings intentionally, one by one." -*A. Siza.

"To motivate new ways of occupying the territory. It is not about to preserve artificially but to take advantage of realities."

-

"not to extend the buildings through the territory but completing what is already occupied with a higher density and intensity. And the rest would be green, of course." - *E.Torres Tur.

-

"a house must be conceived by its inhabitants' well-being." - *Eileen Gray.

​

The housing unit occupies the first construction, where the existing structure is preserved to accomodate the entrance, kitchen in the ground floor and dormitory in the first floor. Then, it is extended to accomodate the wife's studio, with a direct acces from the exterior.

​

Following the path, a secondary route can be taken, marked by a porous wall and a rather flat terrain that leads to the husband's studio. It is a two storey construction with an inclined roof. From the lower floor one could acces the jazz platform through a runway.

​

From the main path one gets to the second ruin adapted to become the common area for guests and, by an extension of its walls, one could get to the guest pavilions -elementary units directly related to nature.

​

The path finally leads to a covered space that frames the privileged landscape and, with a free ground floor, acts as a jazz platform. The roof of this construction is directly connected to the husband's studio previously mentioned.
