Extract from memory,
Wayfarer, the only way
Is your footprints and no other.
Wayfarer, there is no way.
Make your way by going farther.
By going farther, make your way
Till looking back at where you've wandered,
You look back on that path you may
Not set foot on from now onward.
Wayfarer, there is no way;
Only wake-trails on the waters.
Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino, y nada más;
caminante, no hay camino
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace camino,
y al volver la vista atrás
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante, no hay camino,
sino estelas en la mar.

Antonio Machado. Campos de Castilla, 1909
The main idea of the project has been strengthened in its first phase: the idea of THE PATH. // In addition to the importance of moving with age, as Machado says, "it is the way to walk", that is, this idea of THE PATH invites us to live the present with intensity, in each moment. // THE PATH generates a daily meeting place and an opportunity of relationship between the inhabitants of the Residential City.
