“Valleverde is, first and foremost, supposed to be a major international park providing live entertainment, the only one of its kind in southern Europe, right in the heart of the Mediterranean.” AF
You can see the hills and you can smell the sea. You can hear noise from the motorway. Water sets down some ground rules, but it can also continue to play its role of grounding and controlling transformations. Valleverde is, first and foremost, supposed to be a major international park providing live entertainment, the only one of its kind in southern Europe, right in the heart of the Mediterranean. The park will therefore be a sequence of dunes, islands and filaments, which will provide the ground rules for various possible lines of development, in which the public function of entertainment and commerce to the south will dissolve into various different types of living in the park to the north, complete with a network of public services.
