El Sabor De La Isla

The Island Meanguera is experiencing cultural erasure through its development. By following the development of the Island, therein lies a series of cultural memories embedded in the urban fabric. El Sabor De La Isla acknowledges the relationship of time and memory to architecturally represent the coexistence of the past, present, and future in a single space.This juxtaposition of the past with the present can then be used to imagine future scenarios for the Island’s development, reasserting the importance of memory in space- that spaces may change, but memories will always remain.
