说明:
Lodges in a rock quarry initiate the change of the family economic model towards sustainable tourism. The project intensifies the material memory of the quarry, its relationship with the landscape and a volcano.
Appropriate technology: In this spatial remediation, the materials come from a recursive and environmental reading and are identified:
1. natural context - giant stones are remnants and absences of the stone quarry, as well as riprap and sands; from the soils of the rock walls we obtain flagstones.
2. Stored recyclables - sieves, pipeline pipes, metal parts, carved stones, rods, timbers, a coil of thick steel cable, a ladle and small ladle nails.
3. Natural materials - wood.
Electricity and water heating are solar, water comes from natural springs, liquid waste is treated and returned to the soil.
Rehabilitation: Architecture is a reflection of the memory of human activities and the energy deposited in it. Architecture is communicative, combative, it vindicates life postures and postulates towards future actions. It seems fundamental to us that the architectural object promotes the remediation of ecosystems, that it coexists by sustaining habitats and that nature takes the leading role. Recycling, reusing and repurposing materials and spaces is a political position and methodology.
The experience of being inside the lodge is that of an observatory facing directly to the Tungurahua volcano and intensifies it so that the impression is majestic and very rooted in the place.
