In our times of accelerated living, particularly in metropolitan areas, it becomes more and more likely for one to lose contact to himself, getting unable to sense the manifold nuances of the own needs. This is a place for the overwhelmed to regain the ability to listen to themselves.
As I have always lived in big cities, I am quite familiar with the feeling of being overwhelmed by the sheer mass of sensory input and social commitments appearing on a daily basis. The circumstance that being exposed to this amount of stimuli is unhealthy, is not only a vague feeling, but has been scientifically proved. This circumstance will worsen as the densification of the cities progresses. My project tries to create spaces that allow one to recreate, emphasizing the qualities of the calm, but inspiring landscape it positions itself in.
