Please, see attached my undergrad thesis project, a surf hotel in Pantin [Spain].
As opposed to the massive "sun and beach" tourism, the hotel develops a symbiotic relationship among the agricultural activities of the area and the visitors that decide to be part of this micro-system. Both, guests and primary sector are key pieces to make the engine work. In a geographic and economic context with a strong local character, where tourism is crucial and constantly increasing, the project intents to be sensible not only to sensorial and vernacular perceptions but also to service and lucrative factors. This way, architecture will be the mechanism to open a dialog between locals and intruders, being the facilities of the hotel the means to improve the activities of both agents.
The artificial becomes nature. It does not intend to be natural because it is not. It accepts the composition laws of the environment to adapt its tools to them.
