Concept:
The project aims to generate a new experience for the inhabitants of the Grim area. This district will become an artefact that proposes a new perspective on the relationship between living, sports and nature, transforming the experience of the city, and consequently the city itself.
We can say that a looking glass is not a mirror. It should not aim to reproduce what it is reflected into a perfect, identical copy. Such a sterile procedure would eschew all difference, leave out all that is not evident, and negate the possibilities of becoming. It should be a sensitive instrument, an artifice that enables, inspires and engages transformation.
The proposal deals with the relation of the three main objects that integrate the site: the housing, the sport complex and the open spaces. At the same time it defines the strategy for the connection with the activities at the perimeter defining the site: educational, commercial, cultural and religious, in a way that will create new relationships with the landscape, the sea and the historical city.
