Constitución, Maule, Chile
Tourist Promenade and Cycle Lane
The project is part of a sustainable reconstruction plan drawn up for a coastal town after the tsunami. The Chilean design team placed a series of lookout points along the coast, from the river mouth near the town centre to a small port.
Each lookout highlights the natural heritage of the area: the huge rocks that rise from the sea along this shore. Simple frames and platforms direct the eye to these formations and give visitors a place to stop, sit and look.
The platforms are connected by a 4.5-kilometre cycle lane, turning the coastline into a continuous public route for walking and cycling.
