We are finally getting settled here in Guardamar where I will be living for the next 7 weeks. This is the view from the balcony of our apartment…life could be worse!

Some pictures of our place.

This is the Studio space rented for us by our professor. At fist it didn’t seem like much, but within a few day we made it our own.

Or first pin-up of work was on Friday. Our assignment was to study and diagram the city of Guardamar and to become familiar with its culture. What we learned is that the town shuts down for a siesta between 2pm and 5pm and that wine is culturally mandatory with lunch.

This is the site given for our studio project. It is a vacant lot at the top of Guardamar’s Castle ruins. I am so excited to be working with a historic piece of architecture. By the end of the semester my diagrams with inform my design of the urban renewal project I propose for the site.


The city of Guardamar

As a party of the City’s weekly ritual we had to study the Marcadio! It sets up every Wednesday and completely takes over the central streets of town. It was so lively and great to see tourists and locals intermixing with the venders.

The Beach!
