N - LIGHTING A HISTORIAN HOTEL PROF. E BERMUDEZ [2008]
This historian hotel is created considering the actual historical building that lays on its site, right between the mountains of Cayey, PR. “La Casa del Caminero” used to accommodate government employees. They were on charge of verifying new constructed streets were in optimal conditions, as guardians of the road. The enlightened structures that appear around this historic building have the same role as these men, an intention to guard knowledge and history.

A. M Gallery appears as an effort to restore the urban zone of R铆o Piedras, San Juan. The analysis of existent urban context and the facade behavior on its principal street, Ponce De Le贸n, acts together as space modifiers to perform A.M Gallery. This new space behaves as a sculptural piece itself. A condition is achieved when the context is analyzed from a musical perspective, were some facades acts a musical tone in crescendo and the others in decrescendo. This new public space will work as a unifying element between forgotten streets and spaces. Furthermore, it will allow local artist and musicians to expose their work.
