ALOVERA V: THE FULL STORY
A “Playa de Madrid” that never was. Personal project, TBA.
PLANNED PROJECT






WHILE YOU’RE HERE...

This will be a (mostly) comprehensive history of Alovera Beach, which started in “Alovera I: Luxury (Artificial) Beaches” as an exploration of the issues surrounding the controversial megaproject. This could be seen as the first full narrative of Alovera Beach, which includes insights into its ramifications beyond the immediate impact. 


Here are the component parts of this history: “Alovera I: Luxury (Artificial) Beaches”, the original investigation, “Alovera II: Nuevo Centro Acuatico”, an alternative proposal for the creation of a waterpark in a disused swimming pool complex, “Alovera III: Mining for SiO2”, a geopolitics overview into the trade of sand, an often overlooked commodity, and finally “Alovera IV: Las Aguas Peligrosas”, a reimagining of the Alovera II proposal.
