Restoration of urban memory
Teaming up with RVR architects and Terra Arqueos Archaeology. The proposal for the construction of an interpretative centre for the Medieval archaeological site of San Esteban has as main Challenge to recover the ruins of the medieval historic city and reinstate it to the active life of the current city. The project proposes to make an archaeological Urban Garden serving to study the archaeological ruins but keeping its functionality as an active urban park and therefore maintaining the urban role that this space had before the discovery of the ruins. Next to the excavation in the north side, a Temporary museum is proposed to support the excavation activities, which can evolve in the future as an interpretation center for the ruins and also to hold other civic functions the city may require.
