Fearless Look
The name of the project: Fearless Look, is given by the sensations produced by passing through the structure. A structure, without enclosures, that acquires great height, with steep stairs, rooms that are difficult to access... in conclusion, a construction for which courage is necessary if you wish to walk through it.

The project takes place in the Monfragüe National Park, more specifically in the castle area. It is located in the center of the province of Cáceres, has more than 18 thousand hectares and was the first protected area in Extremadura.

The exercise consisted of inserting two structures, one vertical and the other horizontal. Firstly, we are asked to create a vertical structure, which will become the roots of our project. It is a 20-meter viewpoint that has levels that are connected to each other by a set of different stairs.
The second exercise consists of creating a horizontal plane, in this case a square one,that comes into contact with the ground. It is also intended to achieve contact with the sky, so it is decided to superimpose a series of planes but without losing the square plan from an aerial view.
Once the two structures have been inserted, it is obvious that the horizontal and vertical structures do not have any type of relationship between them. That is why it was decided to completely modify the horizontal structure, thus accentuating the evolution that the project has experienced from the beginning.

Unity is achieved in the proposal because now all the structures, both the new buildings and the architecture already existing in Monfragüe, are related to each other with ramps and platforms, generating an architecture that speaks the same language.
