A discontinuous corten steel wall defines a site of work, and leaves a perimetric walkway next to the castle walls, the final limit of the plot. Inside of the corten boundary a white shelter, elevated from the ground, houses the ruins. Like a reinterpretation of the old construction the new white box follows the antiques lines of the walls, but not touches them. Between the building and the ruins there is a long gap which allows to see the different textures and finishes of both constructions.
