The landscape intervention is located at the flatland of the Empordà, surrounded by vast extensions of agricultural fields sprinkled with vegetation groupings defining the territory. A water plain rests in the landscape. That same plain is inserted to the ground by a large path which connects the different levels of the site. Its layout evokes the image of the dirt roads and rivers meanders through the fields arranged in a rigid geometric composition. To convert the path into a volume able to create an independent architecture object inserted in the landscape, was only possible by the use of concrete because of its abstraction and moulding capabilities.
