The project, located on the corner of Viamonte and Reconquista, Buenos Aires, aims to inform and provide certain needs that tourists demand.
As a project, is composed by pure volumes. Two of them are dominated by the full. they are tape and solid volumes. These elevated above others whose property is to be empty or comppounding light elements.
the solid tape generates semicover areas and shadows on the other volume. the auditorium is located in the tilted one. This same tape is trying to find height to be a step in their environment.
The building has a friendly deal with this historic wall on the ground. It includes one of their programs such as exhibitions. This wall ends up being the closing of the exhibition, thus making the wall is not lost on the project.
