Las Cruces Look Out Point
Ojuelos de Jalisco, Mexico
Project Featured on Jan 02, 2014
Photographs by Iwan Baan.
Here there were two things to see: the panoramic view of the valley resulting from being at the highest point of the trail, and the crosses. Thus, this lookout needed to have a double front. We also found it important to create a good shadow, hard and solid, as well as cross ventilation at the same time, two invaluable components on a pilgrimage of a long walk.
For construction, we imagined a monolithic element, more like infrastructure than architecture. In actuality, we have considered collecting water in the extreme of the cantilever; the accumulated water in the shade will function as a horizontal mirror introducing at least at some moment in the year a kind of shine to an otherwise opaque structure.
