Description

This project is based on the questioning of the terms of the competition from which it derives, which called for a year-round air-conditioned space that would be used for conventional exhibitions with the climate as the main theme. Instead of this, a public space is proposed in continuity with the park in which it is inserted and which introduces passive climate control strategies. Nature and the climate itself becomes the protagonist. The visitor experiences the architecture as a gentle mediation between nature and the human realm. Air flows and water are controlled without resorting to mechanical means.
