Symbiotic Matorral is a serie of installations that was made to study the relationships between the built environment and landscape, as a symbiotic landscape construct.

As a part of the culmination of a design project, the symbiotic matorral fathoms the relationship between urbanism and nature in the contemporary built/landscape continuum by combining the metabolist (cognitivist) and culturalist (geophilosophical) models into a “symbiotic landscape construct”.

The project converts an abandoned service road into a floro-faunistic route that crosses through the highly-diverse ecosystem of the matorral submontano thicket and scrubland, transitioning into the high mountain woods.

The travel through the matorral is made of different installations, that gradually submerges the visitor in a full immersion experience where the human sphere fuses with those of animals and the sourronding landscape.
