EMF

Projecte de restauració del paratge de Tudela-Culip (Club Med) al Parc Natural del Cap de Creus from ielei on Vimeo.
The story goes, Old Club Med resort in Spain gets reclaimed to protected park status and has to be demolished. Cue landscape architects EMF to re-integrate the complex to nature.
It's quite interesting, leaving traces of DNA, but I wonder why the reaction was to leave this evidence and not do something completely new?  I guess reinstating the natural environment is unusual, and maybe EMF felt it was important to know that it happened, and this is why the work nods at the history of the site.
