Maritime and tourism.This way the project stands enrooted in the Patagony showing its shape the modelating produced by the land forces. The wood shelter is a fundamental element on the activities of the transference port and the square-market.With the form , constructive tecniques used there, and the materiality, we pretend a project wich its conception is deeply enrroted in a a landscape so particular as this people are. This text briefly express the aims obtained by the student in his titulation process, which guarantees the project basicaly in the following ideas:1.- From its spatial relation with the surroundings : this point of view comes from the school statements on providing with interventions that rescue the inmediate value of the neighbouring places . The project traces the ocupation with a potent and envolving natural coordinates. This comes to presence by the urban position of the project (in relation to the sea and the measure and size inhabitant relations that it generates.. A fundamental aspect of this is its shape,a relection of a profound study made in the southern part of the country. The project defines itself as an element of the landscape that it constructs, rescuing in a very particular way the Patagonian way of living.2.- Fron its relation with the identity of this place and the existing culture: This idea is reflected on the fact that the project is capable of supporting local programatic relatonships, giving a solid base of sustention for the Patagonian activities.This you can check not only in its capacity of sheltering an existing program but also as a real posibility of harnessing diverse aspects of tourism and of local work.
