Horse Stables In Atacama
German Del Sol
Horse Stables and a parking lot,
German Del Sol
are opened to shady corridors
German Del Sol
around two slightly irregular shaped plazas,
German Del Sol
that takes some distance
German Del Sol
from the existing hotel.
German Del Sol
Broken line walls gently enclosed the plazas
German Del Sol
In a trembling sequence of light and shades.
German Del Sol
The feeling that the walls belong to the place,
German Del Sol
will be improved by the dust that wind carries about,
German Del Sol
instead of decay with time.
German Del Sol
The concrete roof reinforces
German Del Sol
the continuous unprecise form of the walls.
German Del Sol
It is dotted with holes that let fine sunbeams
German Del Sol
penetrate its penumbra
to see the resting horses inside.
Soft shades of wooden trellis,
and long drinking fountains,
temperate the place,
and keep the rythm
that make the place feel alive.
