This proposal interprets the Kitesurf School as part of a whole, transforming it into more than a singular touristic feature, but as an invitation to explore what lies beyond. The idea develops from a monolithic volume that dissipates in a gradient line across the park, naturally forming different structures for resting and appreciation. The one hosting the Kitesurf School reflects the ethereal quality of the landscape. Its radial plan alludes to a kite, and the fabric tent is a dynamic feature, being sensible to the wind flow.
