2018 - 2023. Rampa y otras mejoras en la llegada a Santiago del Camino Francés, Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, España

Interventions carried out at the point where the French Pilgrims’ Way enters Santiago de Compostela. The ramp overcomes a very problematic meeting point between Monte do Gozo and the high-speed road infrastructures surrounding the city. It replaces a long and steep staircase built over the cut made by a road, which broke the continuity of the pilgrims' route, hindering accessibility and mobility for wheelchair users, cyclists and horse riders. The difference in height is 9 metres. The structure, with a gentle slope and a continuous length of about 120 metres and a width of 2.5 metres, makes it possible to stop and observe the city that appears as one descends. Its curves, twists and turns are used as transitional spaces in which one senses the transition to the urban environment, between fragments of nature that are left behind. The walker registers a change of time (arrival) and space (between the countryside and the city).

Abstract

Interventions carried out at the point where the French Pilgrims’ Way enters Santiago de Compostela. The ramp overcomes a very problematic meeting point between Monte do Gozo and the high-speed road infrastructures surrounding the city. It replaces a long and steep staircase built over the cut made by a road, which broke the continuity of the pilgrims' route, hindering accessibility and mobility for wheelchair users, cyclists and horse riders. The difference in height is 9 metres. The structure, with a gentle slope and a continuous length of about 120 metres and a width of 2.5 metres, makes it possible to stop and observe the city that appears as one descends. Its curves, twists and turns are used as transitional spaces in which one senses the transition to the urban environment, between fragments of nature that are left behind. The walker registers a change of time (arrival) and space (between the countryside and the city).
