Abstract

“Madrid Oasis” est stratégiquement située dans la banlieue Nord madrilène, entre le chemin de fer et le “paseo” de la Castellana. L'Oasis est conçue comme une dalle en béton qui se replie aux extrémités pour accueillir des éléments naturels – sable et eau – et des éléments artificiels, en devenant une plate-forme à échelle urbaine capable d'attirer irrésistiblement un grand public. La dalle garantit une parfaite isolation du paysage sans qualité de la périphérie, en créant une oasis pour une nouvelle forme de vie urbaine et, finalement, un nouveau modèle de ville. Une fois montés sur la dalle, les citoyens flânent sur une plage artificielle et protégée, loin du rythme frénétique de la ville contemporaine: se baigner, bronzer, lire, faire du sport en plein air, ce sont les activités que la dalle offre. Mais au-dessous de cette surface, “Madrid Oasis” génère une autre dimension, fondée aussi sur une intensité programmatique. De la luminosité de la plage, on passe à l'obscurité d'un grand parking, d'un “shopping center”, d'un centre de fitness, des discothèques et d'une gare de métro. Les matériaux changent, les atmosphères sont bouleversées: la dalle démontre sa vraie essence d'accélérateur social.
