A strategy, not a form. The project tries to listen to the place and imagine a possible city that, without renouncing our times, is capable of preserving the way the city breathes. It is a question, then, of finding the common territory between the contemporary and that which allows the city to recognise itself; a figure or, better, a strategy that contains within itself both sides. A strategy considered in terms of opportunities. A set of rules dictated by pre-existing conditions. A reinterpretation that makes the project both container and content, a gift for the city.

The proposal restores to the site the character of a land of transit and exchange that the areas outside the walls were, making it permeable. From Calle Pizarro, under the pre-existing façade, and through the back garden, a public route unfolds that is another link in the chain of squares and alleyways through which the old Cáceres is traversed, and the natural way of bridging the difference in level that leads to the new part of the city.
