The different processes of transformation of the landscape in rural Gualleco, Maule Region, and surrounding areas, have converted native forest in an homogeneous and productive landscape of insignis pine. The result of these processes as well as affecting aesthetically the landscape and biodiversity , have generated erosion and ground infertility in the place.
The project is conceived not only as a place to rest in the shade , designed for people who go out to collect wild fruits , but also as a protector of the soil that has been exposed after the successive clearing of the forest, this because of its skin made-up entirely of raschel mesh, typical of agricultural areas of the central valley , that allows the passage of water in a more controlled manner to the ground and also permits the capture of the morning dew .
This project is intended as the first in a series of tactical viewpoints arranged along the territory, which in its dual strategy will permit to protect the ground as well as being a point of pause that tries to put in value the limited endogenous landscape that remains in this place, in an effort to preserve and reinterpret the landscape from the architectural project.
Both the structure and the floor were made up of recycled wood of previous constructions in the area, these were protected with burned oil. The skin of raschel mesh is 80% and the seats were built with tree debris retrieved from the place and painted with cal.
