Eight Waterfalls is a temporary installation carried out within the framework of the eighth edition of the Tortosa Festival of Ephemeral Interventions “A Cel Obert”, designed by Eletres Studio, an architecture workshop based in Huancayo, Peru. This annual international event explores the insertion of temporary projects and their application as a means to enhance the architectural and cultural heritage of the city. The place chosen for the intervention is the Franquet Passage, which is the central axis that unites two blocks of houses whose construction dates back to the end of the 19th century and is considered historical heritage of the city.
Continuous space
The conceptual origin explores the theme of the festival in this edition "curiosity" which we understand as the constant need to flow through the unknown, seeking to associate this concept with a living element whose organic form achieves a mimesis with the characteristics of the place. The Franquet Passage takes the temporary form of a river whose incessant and intrepid flow crosses the central space, fed by eight waterfalls that descend along its course and join from the top.
