For the approach to nature was a clear need to use a natural material.
Moreover, large mechanical properties of wood, relation to its weight, facilitated the resolution of a technically daring structure.
is a bird observatory on the Ebro, whose project architect is the author Manuel Fonseca Gallegos D, with D engineering José Ramón Negueruela.
has a unique way, with trapezoidal section, but resolved so that none of the three "faces" (upper side) is really a plane, but are warped, as seen in photos , being also the sections of lesser height as one goes inside the observatory. All this has generated the need to design all nodes binding differently, none match the relative positions between the different parts that compose it, and its angle of attack
.
flies structure eleven meters above the river, with an offset of four meters. It is anchored to the foundation, settled by micropiles through articulated supports.
is surrounded by a "bandage" of wood, pretending to be a nest of a chimeric animal. In this way it is integrated into the environment at the same approach allows users on a half-hidden and can see without being seen.
was assembled at the foot of the site, after being put in its final location by using a crane freestanding large tonnage.
