The action of removing the architectural cladding of the Hospital rooms known as the Triage was carried out, located in the emergency area where patients in medical emergency are attended and diagnosed. This cladding was removed manually with chisel and mallet, thus reversing the construction process until bringing these rooms to a state of bare structure. The process has been conceived as the acceleration of a ruin.
