Smaller interventions with a great design value are House of the Infinite by Alberto Campo Baeza, who built in Cádiz an infinite plane facing the Atlantic Ocean, a house that emerges from the sand as a stone platform; and the intervention of Álvaro Siza, who renovated the building that marked the begining of his career, the Boa Nova Casa da Cha restaurant clinging to the rocks in Leça da Palmeira, Portugal.
Among the best design project the wooden console Balka, created by French designer Grégoire de Lafforest to shelter the dubious treasures of every day existence that we use to accumulate, and two proposals that use in a new way the resources of the sea.
The first one is the proposal of the Deutsch duo Blond & Bieber, that with Algaemy investigate the potential of microalgae in a creative context, revealing the aesthetic potential of a resource which is mostly regarded as weeds within Europe; the second one, by alien&monkey, is Sand Packaging that, made entirely of sand and natural minerals, explores the emotions and psychology behind the process of discovering a gift.
