Description:

The project begins by integrating the program with three elements found in the local landscape: the neighborhood, the wetland, and the hills, connecting them to the existing park through a canopy that reimagines the building as more than a solid structure. Instead, it becomes a filtering cover, framing and enhancing the landscape.

It blends into the landscape through a modular, rational, and precise structure, aiming to become an integral part of the park’s future canopy. This allows it to bridge existing activities with future ones, functioning as a large covered pavilion with the flexibility to adapt and evolve over time, enriching the range of experiences for users.
