The basic objective was to reproduce the space of a poplar grove, or of a group of bamboos on a water surface. On the one hand, it creates a building mechanism capable of generating incredible possibilities from the point of view of energy logic and environmental commitment, a basic but in any case fundamental and emblematic issue for the future Spanish Pavilion at the International Exposition in Zaragoza, but on the other hand, it transfers to architecture one of the most attractive spaces, physically and luminously speaking, that we can face.

Changing spaces, full of suggestions and nuances, where concepts such as verticality and depth play a fundamental role.

Is it possible to artificially reproduce a natural fact? Architecture's old frustrated aspiration. However, in this case, approximation is possible because the geometric force of the metaphor is in our favour.

On the other hand, the proposed image gives a necessary symbolism to what a Pavilion, in this case the Spanish Pavilion at a universal exhibition, should be.

The metaphorical reference where water is present through the referenced landscape is strong and evident.
