Instructor: Nana Last & Charlie Meneffee Keywords: Spain, architecture and landscape architecture Date: 2014 Spring
The city Manresa has its significance in being the destination of Camino de Ignatius. Jesuit pilgrims will walk through the 28 days journey, arriving at the city. The project is to create the journey. It is a path goes between the thickened walls through the inside market and outside market and then brings people up to La Cova. It is a public space that reminds people of the collective memory of the city and triggers the flow of information. In the day time, peole can wander around the old wall park, outdoor market, planting terrace. In the night time, there are classrooms, workshops, indoor maket and projections along the walls. The design integrates the existing condition of the site and negotiate the complicated topography of the site.
