About the project
The intervention project in the landscape of the Camino de Santiago, seeks to adapt its possibilities to a careful reading of the conditions provided by its natural environment, which was born with the vocation of satisfying the balance of the environment.
The chapel welcomes the last step of the way. Its volume dialogues with the public space that welcomes it, generating a play of light and shadow, which allows to evoke the function of a sundial. The vocation of their space is the sensitive empowerment, based on external conditions. Escape the crowds, establish an intimate and thoughtful place. A part of its development rests gently on the river allowing the serene passage of its course, and being crossed by light, it generates a sensation in perpetual change, as time progresses. The river, with the purity of its reflective plane, the incidence of light, and the composition of the volume return the image of a cross, thus communicating its religious function.
