Humanity, once it ceased its existence, continued living through the vestiges of its own construction, those that fused in a series of natural landscapes. This essay invites us to reflect upon time in a scale that exceeds the human realm, and upon the relation between man and nature through architecture. The traces that remain in time are erected as sculptures, accomplishing an aesthetic and harmonic integration where we seek a simple and platonic universe. Both elements, those of human and natural origin, are erected in the same hierarchy, complementing each other and fusing with the landscape.

The space rids itself from its human utility, and it is through this transformation that the series of concrete, brick and fabric remnants becomes present, which end up heightening the elements of nature, finding a holistic utilitarian intention.

What is natural remains, in a sense, limited and contained in space, alluding to the conscience of finitude that once threatened nature. And, reinforcing the symbiosis that could have flourished between human and natural creation, landscapes of other places and other times remain, desolate vestiges that are erected from a point of view of aesthetic coexistence that survive the existential nihilism of man.
