TARASANA

Tarasana is situated within the Yelapa community, nestled amidst the lush jungle and alongside the western Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean. Serving as a holistic hub, Tarasana offers versatile amenities, including options for natural childbirth either in water or on a bed. Additionally, it operates as a healing center that accommodates a diverse range of activities.
The project proposal aims to establish a comprehensive environment where babies, women and men can reconnect with their inherent nature and the world around them. Inspired by Mathias Goeritz's Manifesto of Emotional Architecture, which advocates for elevating human spirituality through architectural design, the goal is to rescue architecture from its current state of purely material functionality.
Central to this endeavor is the creation of spaces that evoke a sense of security and well-being akin to the maternal womb. These spaces are intended not only for childbirth but also for nurturing the bond between parent and child, including the involvement of fathers. The overarching concept is to craft environments that harmonize with the human body, reminiscent of the womb, not as a regression but as a means of reconciliation.
Named Center TARSANA, this adaptable facility serves as a sanctuary for both physical and spiritual healing, while also fostering opportunities for diverse activities.
Enchanted by the flawless beauty of its design and the graceful curves that bestow upon it an almost monastic ambiance, the "Museum of Art" conceived by architect Ryue Nishizawa beckons admirers. Inspired by the architectural ethos of Javier Senosiain, which advocates for the emulation of natural systems and harmonizing architecture with its environment, the genesis of this masterpiece emerges. "The concept sprouted from a vision of crafting a space tailored to human beings, attuned to their ecological, physical, and emotional requisites," elucidates the architect, a foremost proponent of this architectural doctrine in Mexico.
Similarly, in the artful manipulation of windows and skylights within the visionary work "Palais Bulles" by architect Antti Lovag, echoes resonate. Delving into his creative process, the architect elucidates, "The essence lies in sculpting a space finely attuned to the human condition, considering its ecological, physical, and psychological dimensions." Thus, through these architectural endeavors, a profound symbiosis between human needs and the built environment is manifested.
