Electric Ramps at the Old Centre
Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
The project comes about from an idea
competition organized by the City of Vitoria.The program contemplates the
creation of covered mechanical ramps, four sections in Cantón de la Soledad and
three sections in Cantón de San Francisco Javier. The decision to cover the
ramps allows a better guaranteed use, given the extreme winter conditions in
Vitoria. The covering will be both complex and simple. It is complex in its
apparent three-dimensional perception and simple as it is conceived from equal
pieces, uniquely displaced among themselves. The basic stainless steel and
glass portico acts similarly to the shots of a film, by means of rotary
movements around a virtual axis in sequences of one metre distances. The
sensation of rotational movement that the user perceives uses the movement of
the ramp itself to create a connected sequence that holds one's interest all
the way up, creating different views in different places along the way. The
permanent exterior vision through the glass contributes to this sensation
produced by the continuous turning of the porticoes.On the outside, the lines
of glass that connect different positions of the porticoes make up an apparent
complex and dynamic three-dimensional figure, though there is only one portico
and thus a simple and rational construction process.
