The basic characteristic of the World War II bunker built in Tenerife by General Frank is not only its durability but also its camouflage. It is constructed of reinforced concrete in a similar morphology to the lava hills and adorned with lava stones to blend in with the surroundings as much as possible. In contrast to this predisposition, there is a visually striking structure of the gun slit, created by warning tape, whose semantic purpose is to alert to any potential danger. This risk defines the metallic object protruding from the gun slit window, although it is currently encased in concrete. During the implementation, a dispersion coating was used to temporarily attach the plastic sheeting to the decaying bunker. At the end of the video, you can see how we cleaned up everything to return it to its original state, after which the bunker remained only impregnated and thus more reinforced than before.
