Draft submitted in September 2009 pending the competition held bythe Algerian port of Oran.
The project aims to solve an endemic problem faced by passengers on boats that depart from Oran, that is, very long waits and queues toboard, very reduced spaces, and long waitingtime for those traveling by car.
Combining all these concepts, what kind of space would suit better?An idea came to our minds: the shade of a beach in front of a Mediterranean forest, a place where we do not mind being around. Thearchitecture defines a basic idea: a permeable cover,light and shadow screened, as thosereprentations by the great painter Sorolla, to permit the movement of wind while we bathed in light. A great coverdesigned on plywood, a material that has been shown that resistsweather better stakes than other materials used in large structures, giving the final result of lightness and harmony.Draft submitted in September 2009 pending the competition held bythe Algerian port of Oran.
