because not always the best is to construct but to deconstruct and go back to the (now transformed) origin... not in a nostalgic sense but in a "nothing is more" sense. Haven't you ever had the powerfull necessity of leaving things as they were? just leave them there as a reminder of what you were...?
Restoration project area of Tudela-Culip (Club Med) in the Natural Park of Cap de Creus by EMF Estudi:
«This
is possibly the biggest restoration project in the whole of the
Mediterranean basin. It includes the selective deconstruction of 450
buildings and the paradigmatic management of 42.000m3 of residue,
recycling virtually 100% of the material; two, the elimination of all
invasive exotic species over 90 hectares, especially the ice plant
(Carpobrotus edulis); three, the restoration of the orography and
drainage to re-establish the natural erosion and sediment transport
dynamics; four, the implementation of a public use project which
exudes the values of the area by ordering and grading the itinerary
and proposing a network of rock and animal identifiers.»
"It's a mythological place made for gods more than for men and it should stay as it is."
