Description
Initially marked by the existence of a lobster vivarium, this place maintains a dialogue between natural elements and artificial information. The several straight parallel walls in reinforced concrete, that are “cut” at the bar area by a plan that points to the crane or “titan”, contrast with the nature of rocks and the sand. So then a path appears, that is slow and that alternates between being either parallel to being perpendicular to the sea, descending, partially buried to free up the view of the horizon to whoever is circulating in the road. The high walls postpone the discovery of the sea, giving access to cloakrooms, showers and toilets, bar and also the water treatment station that belongs to the sea. The walls in reinforced concrete support the wooden and copper roof where the partitions are suspended. If we go down and peek, we can grasp the continuous pavement, free as the sea.
