The study is inspired by the flow of vehicles and pedestrians in urban hubs. This movement is transformed into a veil that wraps itself around, creating the illusion of infinity but at the same time a finite space within it. AENAON is precisely a part of this wrapping that takes place within the city. A route lined with a transparent glass curtain that rises and descends, that picks up the person from one point and drops him off at another, that repositions him at a central point, giving meaning to the circular islands again. At the same time, within this wrapping, a personal space dominates, composed of an olive tree, water, thyme and lavender, creating a protected microenvironment in which the traveler can stand. The glass, like a filter, offers perimeter visibility, allowing only the intense elements to reach the center and at the same time provides sound protection to a reasonable degree. The aromatic plants, the reflected light, the water and the sea salt floating in the surrounding atmosphere, create mysterious conditions, enhancing the aesthetic imprint of the proposal. Finally, the sculptural form of the composition is the one that invites, welcomes and guides the visitor, with its curves articulated lightly between the vertical metal hollow beams that carry the entire structure.
