Valle.
Climate prototype for future landscapes
Installation and artistic residency at Konvent Zero
Berga, 2020
Valle is a prototype of a street space, square, or park, an installation that provides comfort through moisture collection and demonstrates the functioning of our territory via hyper-natural exaggeration. The prototype is a reproduction of a natural element in a confined, accessible space, enhancing sensations so that the public can understand and feel the territorial configuration. The excavated earth is heaped on the sides, forming cane terraces reminiscent of the terraced fields of Mediterranean valleys: the peaks with less vegetation due to exposure to sun and wind, the terraced slopes to capitalize on water, and the valley bottom where the river runs through. A micro-climate is generated via the moisture gradient, with water accumulation at the bottom of the installation thanks to the evapotranspiration of the positioned plants and the collection of water through fog catchers.

Prototipo climático para paisajes futuros
Instalación y residencia artística en Konvent Zero
Berga, 2020
Valle es un prototipo de un espacio de calle, plaza o parque, una instalación que genera confort gracias a la recolección de humedad y que enseña el funcionamiento de nuestro territorio a través de la exageración hipernatural. El prototipo es una reproducción de un elemento natural en un espacio reducido y accesible, que aumenta las sensaciones para que la población pueda comprender y sentir la configuración territorial. La tierra excavada se amontona a los lados, construyéndose unas terrazas de cañizo que recuerdan a los bancales de cultivo de los valles mediterráneos: las cimas con menos vegetación al estar expuestas al sol y al viento, las laderas aterrazadas para aprovechar del agua y el fondo por donde discurre el río. Se genera un micro-clima a través del gradiente de humedad, con acumulación de agua en el fondo de la instalación gracias a la evapotranspiración de las plantas colocadas y la recolección de agua a través del atrapanieblas.
