The project proposes a reflection on history and memory, and on the coexistence between the old and the new through an intervention that brings together past and present. The proposal does not start anything or almost nothing, it simply establishes different levels of relation between the present time and the historical time. Showing interest in intervening with sensitivity and determination about what exists, in continuity with its history. Recover gaps in the historic city and incorporate them into the urban future.
_

A historical analysis of the place is carried out. The old wall is understood as a defensive structure in the form of a ring. It is necessary to reconstruct the forgotten space. Build through poetry, to make living together in harmony a scenario of nature and history.

Painting, poetry … Revive the place, able to convey the meaning of memory. It is music, an ode to the past, capable of redefining the ancient strata.

The ruinous space and time will be set as a new path of artistic regeneration. The future of beauty is death, a death that is itself beauty and life.

We must mark each one a particular distance from reality, opening a space for interpretation, with which to maintain history. It is necessary to build oblivion in order to survive, making it possible for unthought-over thinking about this reality for unconfessable reasons.

NATURE
Poetry describes a place. The urban space is a labyrinth of water that reconstructs the stratum of the past. Like a new RING that reconfigures the Granada Nasrid.

The beauty of nature is divine; the art, human. This explains why the meaning of Nature does not really open to us through art. It is as if the inexhaustible wealth of nature were written in a language that man had before learning …

ALHAMBRA
Music is an architecture of sounds, and architecture is the music of the frozen place.

There are ways that forest one day wept to be remembered today. The gates of the walls of an infinite step. Where I rest the remains of the past.

Music is the interpreter of the gap opened in what was in a past time.
