It aims to organize a popular area of the city that has experienced a profound transformation over the years. This area doesn’t have the cultural services that respond adequately to the needs of those who live the neighborhood (now the majority are students).

The project includes a first part that recalls the historic city, presenting a static and massive aspect and a an upper part, that is dynamic and contemporary, that communicates with the ring road, an important infrastructure that characterizes the neighborhood. The materials used are mainly concrete and aluminum brise-soleil panels. The project maximizes usable outdoor spaces aiming to organize the outer space, that is complex and dynamic.
