“A water chain that as a marvellous spring will create a rich sequence of gardens and the recapture of the use of the land; reducing and limiting the settlement between those lines, the natural one of the place’s altimetry and the founding one of the water’s line.” AF
How to violate a territory that should remain intact and unaltered; how to imagine a transformation that has as a guide a wise settling ability using the territory’s resources – a founding act – a water chain that as a marvellous spring will create a rich sequence of gardens and the recapture of the use of the land; reducing and limiting the settlement between those lines, the natural one of the place’s altimetry and the founding one of the water’s line.
