Pure Geography or perhaps Pure Landscape Architecture


Without Standards and Codes.
Oh to design without consideration for Public Liability.

El sendero by Teresa Moller

"Punta Pite is a 27-acre piece of land that follows the contours of a bay between Zapallar and Papudo, two sea towns located 93 miles north of Santiago, Chile. A residential development planned and built here between 2004 and 2006 takes its name from this place and is laid out in a way that surrenders to the power and beauty of the ocean. It was developed as a series of parts connected by a walking path, one part of which seems to be sculpted out of the existing cliffs, while the other part passes through a restored creed that were meant to create one single spatial experience of the site."

the Pruned article says it all...
