This is a staircase located in the north-west of Galicia, at thee border with Asturias and edging the estuary designed by Abalo Alonso Arquitectos, reminding me of our experiment 2's monument and landform design.
"We drop the idea of intervening in the historical quarter. We explore different
options involving the creation of new ways to connect the historical quarter
and the port, even if it involves the installation of a mechanical
transportation system. The Atalaya viewpoint becomes crucial in our project.
The difference in floor level is important, but the horizontal displacement is
almost inexistent. We explore three different options: conventional stairs,
mechanical stairs or an elevator. The problem with conventional stairs is that
nobody climbs up or down eight flights of stairs, more than a hundred steps.
The layout of the ground makes even more difficult the setting of mechanical
stairs. The slope, however, seems high and vertical enough for installing an
elevator.
