Historically the development of cities on the Galician coast has been linked to the figure of “rías”, both individually and as a group. The growth and use of the ría is made through building, financial profit, with the appearance of industries at the border; as well as with its relation with leisure and walking, connecting this way different natural spaces gathering activities along the coast.

It is in this point of O Burgo, a neighborhood in the city of Pontevedra (Spain), where, leisure, walking, industry and city become together, where the project is located. In an empty lot, unused, where an old factory with only its reinforced skeleton remaining, empty for years, the project imagines a center for the community.

On an urban scale, the project takes the empty lot with the factories as the final step of the way of the boardwalk just before it meeting the old Roman bridge connecting O Burgo with O Temple, two entities that given its closeness and functioning are understood as one.

Following the logic of the boardwalk, in which activity pockets are added along the linear path of the coast dynamizing it (botanical garden, sports fields, playgrounds…) the proposal is to finish it with a cultural, creative, productive, and expositive equipment. Continue the productive use of the factory, with a more society-focused use, filling the void for this type of equipment on a metropolitan scale.
