Pathway of senses, a connection between the Linear Parkwith the lake under the hill. A natural passage under the raiway line where the visitor in-troduces into a field of finoccio flowers, to make a walking route that finishes with a platform, sus-pended on the water. A walking line that gets into the field to discover different situations and evoca-tions. Along the pathway the visitors discover small rooms as reflection spaces and different landscape observatories.

The project explores a field between architecture, art and landscape, experimenting with different instruments and materials through self construc-tion along the Linear Park (former railway and train station) of San Michele di Ganzaria, in order to build small pavilions for landwatching using natural materials from the context: river canes, hay, firewood, ropes, soil.
