How many pets can I find in just one walk in the woods? How long do these lifelong relationships last and what do I look at when I see a mushroom? A return to nature! A vicious cycle where everything starts where it ends. The organicity, ''eco-friendly'' constructions, a self-powered project and the solution that nature itself will provide for the design on a plot of land. The waves and rocks enter the city through Gaudi's designs and the Tokyo metro could have been designed better! I am telling a story of transformation. The story starts from the stimulus as I walk through the jungle and ends on a plot of land on the outskirts of Quito. An example of designing with nature and not just in nature. A symbiotic relationship and the result after this conversation. The look focuses on the textures and patterns present in nature, the structure and the way mushrooms grow on a fallen log at the edge of a path. How is this information translated, what is the pathway and how/to what extent does the imagination and subconscious influence? Can all these thoughts and pathways have their own corner in the realm of architecture or do they simply not belong here?
The design history of a creative space, from the initial stimulus to the location of a hammock, a building set consisting of an assemblage of forms imitating nature. A project that combines all the ecosystems of the Ecuadorian country, from the jungle to the 4,000-meter-high mountain. A green stop, on the busiest road to the centre of the capital or the country's largest airport.
