Since its birth, "Breeding ground" project has been drawn in symbology and thoughts seeking for tradition and past. Is located in Galicia, one of the north Spanish regions with greater identity, rich in natural landscapes, culture, gastronomy, history and society, which makes it unique and sensitive against the aggressive evolution and disconnection of human roots. Those qualities are the ones that represent the soul of this project.
Major opportunity area appears at old city womb, a port free of industrial activity, full of metallic ruins. Main goals to achieve are: to preserve nature, reduce pollution, be more attractive to young people and reconnect citizens back with their traditions. These goals will be seen from the Big Scale, with a green ring modifying city spreading, Middle Scale, with new urbanization including leisure, work and productive activities, to Small Scale, focused on architecture. The building proposed is a cooking school. A permanent intention at designing the project has been trying to generate an attractive area for the population, where social meetings occur.

Galician's are good eater people, eating surrounded by their own people, and precisely the 'eating ritual' represent one of the best excuses to share social meetings. On one hand, cooking school generates employment and interest of young people, and around it emerge spaces of experimentation. On the other hand, it is helpful to reconnect with all the productive process to, in an educational and entertaining connection, the population be aware of the original value of the products and the value of the whole cycle: starting with the water to irrigate farms to the recovery of wastes. In conclusion, a rich and useful place, responsible, friendly, a place with animated forest, meigas, saltpetre, melancholy and long digestions surrounded by good company with flavour of exquisite cream of orujo and filloas.
The school is divided into several buildings, called reactors, connected by a public path, each with a purpose: either productive, teaching kitchen, accommodation for cooks, rehabilitation of some gasometers and especially the places of socialization.
Focused on "Continuous Blend Reactor", due to its greater social convergence, is a formal space generated from the influence of kitchens: "main kitchen" where students put into practice what they learned, the "kitchen with legs", with a service tasting, and "kitchen rental", which citizens can enjoy and share. It is one double-height space, simulating an artificial forest formed by masts reminiscent of important industrial and fishing port, where light bursts like you're under the treetops. In Galicia it rains a lot, and the whole environment of the building canalize, stores and reuses that water. Every three masts of the building there is a "dish" that collects and reuses water. Below them, flexible in time and in shape, with the goal of being places where citizens feel like you spend the afternoon "special areas" appear.
In conclusion, a nice corner in contact with water, in a port returned to the old city, where to eat, meet people, relax and enjoy the local culture.
