Restoration project of Tudela-Culip spot in Cap de Creus natural park - 7a Biennal 2012

Martí Franch Batllori

This project is a showcase for landscape driven nature restoration projects. It turns a demolition order, a purely and strictly habitat reclamation, into a creative landscape restoration development. Through necessarily inexpensive actions, the design skilfully construes and orchestrates the deconstruction as a combination of destruction and construction to celebrate the site’s peculiarities, both natural and cultural. It proposes ways to choreograph on-site visitors into a narrative that stimulates the culture in nature in an innovative approach to finally question whether erasing and voiding is just as valid as filling in and adding. It includes:

. the selective deconstruction of 430 buildings
• the paradigmatic management of 42.000m3 of residue, recycling virtually 100% of the material;
• the elimination of invasive exotic species over 90 hectares
• the restoration of the site’s orography and natural dynamics
• and the implementation of a public use project
