TEAM POINT OF VIEW — Cities expand their existence through

years, decades and centuries. It is through this time-lapse process that multiple interventions, social, cultural changes and even technological knowledge overlap on the fabric of our cities, shaping their spaces and architectures. Our cities are complex and rich evidences of all human activity which one can read as a superposition of layers along time. The superposition of a radical new cross block structure entwined on the fabric of a preexisting industrial city in an area with plenty of social hidden dynamics and some outstanding natural potentials will define a fresh new urban landscape. The proposal tries to preserve the most of each of these three preexisting actors: nature, industrial legacy, and social activity; altogether framed by a new urban radical superstructure.
