The project is located in a a protected natural landscape.Because the environmental conditions of this place,I developed an architecture that transmits an ephemeral language and respect the setting.I developed a type of construction that is removable, transportable, and transformable.
Architecture is commonly critizied for being a concrete destruction, specially in delicate lanscapes such as coasts. Ambition is the main reason that brokes the harmony between nature and achitecture,the balance between them is non-existent. I got interested in studying ephimeral and environmental architecture.Trying to make non- harmful architecture into a protected and unspoiled scenary.Studying at the same time the way to make it dinamic,and approaching a more environmental place. The challenge was to develop and create an architecture that changes at the same time as environmental conditions.Architecture and nature changing together. Why surf school? This has a lot to do with the location.The beach where I locate the project is very famous for having the best right wave of Europe. Several times a year profesional surfers from all over the world gathered around this place to enjoy what they like to do best, surf.
