Valencia ’ s college of Architects to advise on Montañar Coastal Path design competition

The premise is to attract the best architects and to construct a path that respects the environment while enhancing the value of the bay of Xàbia and makes it more accessible to people . With this commitment , the mayor of Xàbia , José Chulvi , met with the Dean of the College of Architects of Valencia , Rafael Durá in order to outline a transparent tender backed by technical guarantees for the competition of ideas for the Montañar coastal path . At the meeting , which was also attended by Urban Councillor Paco Torres , and the Municipal architect , Enric Morera , Rafael Durá expressed his satisfaction with both the purpose of the tender and by the type of project planned . José Chulvi emphasised “ that we want it to be perfectly integrated into the landscape and not cause any damage to the environment . Our objective is to enhance this unique space along our coast while respecting to the maximum its physical appearance .” The preliminary steps are the road management of Av Augusta and Calle Genoa and the diversion of part of the traffic , taking into consideration the parking needs once the immediate beach-front ceases to be used .

The next step will be the drafting of the basis of the pre-project competition . from Chulvi Facebook .
