Furelos Bridge
A Coruña, Spain
The medieval bridge of Furelos is one of the most outstanding works of civil architecture of the ‘Camino de Santiago’, that is why this project of intervention draws from an architectural perspective intimately linked to the village of Melide and its landscape. The proposal‘s purpose is to preserve an important patrimony, and accordingly, to restitute carefully the local memory using the suitable constructive techniques which were used traditionally.
The project takes into account phenomenology, perception and the senses, enhances certain ways of seeing and feeling linked to the rhythms and relations of architecture, body and place. The project marks the threshold of the bridge as the area of reception of the pilgrim; cadence, rhythm and frequency of walking steps; keystones, pillars, stirrups and breakwaters in the pavement using big stones that show the silhouette of the bridge that the walker is crossing; points of observation upstream and downstream in the beginning and end of the bridge, showing the future road that awaits after the passing of the bridge and the road that is left behind… The bridge is an element related to experience and local memory.
