Pilgrimage is the movement, usually on foot, of people to sacred places. It is a universal phenomenon. The three projects are going to focus on the Camino de Madrid, which is a route of the Camino de Santiago, the most important medieval pilgrimage route in Europe. In the first place, the creation of a family tomb of its own is proposed in the Fuencarral cemetery that passes through the Camino de Madrid and has views towards the Sierra de Guadarrama. To make the tomb, burials in the past, such as dolmens and menhirs, were analysed. The project is placed on the highest level of the cemetery and builds a kind of podium with stairs through which they rise. There is a long section that works as a transition space and finally reaches a covered monolith.
The second project, a space for reception and events, is located in the Segovia aqueduct. It is proposed to act in the Plaza de Oriente, where the aqueduct reaches its maximum height. an element of union is created between the part of the dense and consolidated city and the part in which the void is the protagonist. To do this, we excavated a plane on which the aqueduct rests and a route is created in such a way that the aqueduct can be viewed from different perspectives. The first space dedicated to fairs that has a series of stalls and a grandstand where interactive events are held.
In the third project, a hostel for pilgrims is proposed in lath house of Cercedilla, which is located in Sierra of Guadarrama. It consists of three bodies in the form of wooden lattices that are placed on a sloping hillside and contains changing rooms and a swimming pool. It has been decided to build some towers to look over the forest, reinterpreting the reading of the lath house. The lath house is inhabited again with an extensive program to serve the pilgrims. Two towers have been placed at different heights where the letters are located, which occupied double heights. The dimensions of the tower are governed by the traces of the lath house itself and by the measurements of the human body. In such a way that an austere and minimal space is created.
