External and foreign forces have long shaped roads and their adjacent infrastructures on the Canary Islands. This recent rapid expansion due to tourism has dictated the island’s social and economic development, shifting collective spaces to rigid, state-controlled infrastructures. Despite this transformation, locals are seen reclaiming parts of their identity through acts of appropriation and misuse. This observation forms the foundation of the building proposal and its central line of inquiry: how can architectural interventions amplify this tendency toward appropriation, turning roads and their adjacent infrastructures into implicit cultural stages for these practices?

The proposal proposes pilgrimage support facilities, multi-purpose halls, and maintenance workshops that will be positioned along the main pilgrimage route on Gran Canaria. The project aims to create ambiguous, liminal spaces that bring roadside infrastructures to the forefront, enabling them to serve a dual function: supporting pilgrimage activities during festivals, and throughout the rest of the year acting as leisure.
