~ candyland ~
by Pablo Lรณpez de Uralde Montes
Dear friend, I need you. What you are about to read is a real story that happened to me some time ago. I can’t expect you to believe everything you see within the following pages. My only hope is that you get relaxed and enjoy the trip you have just started. Feel free to touch, taste, smell, watch and hear whatever you find around this place.
~ Sweet Introduction to Chaos ~ Prologue
“A flying candy factory managed by children� Those were the old magician last words. Maybe it was not a candy factory, maybe it would never fly or have children inside. However, the nature of this complex creature was nothing but that. Sadly, nobody has trusted that story. Until now.
~ The Dream ~ First Chapter
Do you remember that feeling you used to have when you were a kid and went with some money into the candy shop? Why were you so excited? Why did you feel as if you were living a magic moment? Did you know that sugar behave in brain as a drug? What if it was not about sugar? What if it was just your child’s ability for being surprised? But... how would you reproduce that childhood feeling into an adult? How would you translate it into architecture? Here is our magic friend’s dreamy approach.
~ The UpDownside ~ Second Chapter

~ Helium Supply for the Baloons ~
~ Vertical Circulation ~
~ Living Bubbles ~
~ The DownUpside ~ Third Chapter
How could senses make an adult feel back childhood? We already talked about children’s ability of surprise. Let’s make everything look new and fascinating again. Let’s overload. Let’s amplify.

Now that you know the story as well as I do, I am really happy to say that Candyland is ready for being built. The only thing I was missing was a younger magician able to put up together all this plans so the Dream could become Reality. If you have reached this point, I am sure that you are the one. Dear friend, I need you.
