1st Prize

Project by: Roberto González, Emilio Padilla
from Mexico

Imprimir

Inspirada en la lírica de Alfredo Silva Estrada la propuesta busca contener el misterio de lo sagrado y permanecer discreta en la colina.

“Pasos para un encuentro en los Andes”

Peregrinar

La capilla es una síntesis de “adjetivar” entre lo natural y la ruina, al ocultarle entre el paisaje se pretende  cargar de valor el recorrido previo a descubrirla.

Dolmen

En la cima, un dolmen al filo de la montaña sugiere acercarnos y delatar una escalera que nos incita a “desfilar”…

Culto

…altas rocas nos escoltan durante el acto del callar.

Rezo


2nd Prize

Project by: Maxime Matuszezak, Jules Bergé, Xavier Poulain, Jacob Durand
from Switzerland

On la Isla del sol, birthplace of the sun, a path follows the horizontal lines of the ancestral agricultural terraces. Traced like an ancient Inca road, it serves four pavilions dug in the moun-tain, which together form a chapel. The structure wraps around the topography, in a light mineral trace, rhythmically punctuated by the vertical imprints of the reed formwork. Open to all spir-itualities, religions, beliefs and agnosticisms, this path is both interior and exterior, progressively opening onto the landscape and our inner self.

The chapel is located along the east coast of the Island of the Sun, taking advantage of a natural inlet. A platform just under the water surface provides a suggestive place of aggregation and view point. Through a cathartic path under the water, two ramps connect the upper part to the underground chapel. The humble and raw interior is dominated by the rocks, the foundation of the Island (Titi-kaka etymologically means “foundation stone”), which represent the focal point of the celebration. A constellation of light wells creates a holy atmosphere, linking the two dimensions. The water, the mountains, the stars, they all symbolize the vast spirituality outside of the material.
