The building is structured as a central organization, whose programmatic core is the auditorium, and which, mediated by a circulatory bellows, deploys leisure and educational programs on the perimeter. The public programs of general access deploys in the outer ring of the ground floor, towards the Rodrigo Bueno neighborhood, the access, the bar and the library, with semi-covered areas extend the programs to the exterior.
The exhibition areas, both covered and semi-covered, are located towards the Ecological Reserve. Located in the center of the building, the auditorium has a permeable perimeter enclosure system that can be opened expanding its spatiality, extending its interior to the spaces of the entrance hall, the library and the exhibition hall. This modality enhances the use of the auditorium and makes a dynamic space that supports multiple uses even more flexible and expandable.
The building generates series of expansions both on the ground floor and on the top floor. The expansions are understood as extensions of the quality of the interior space in semi-covered and uncovered spaces. In the case of the library, the expansion is the connection with the bar, giving the possibility of the appearance of a hybrid space where the activities of both programs can be integrated.

Architecture
Notorious is an architecture office based in Buenos Aires, founded in 2015 by Melisa Brieva and Santiago Miret. Since then the office has stood out for the participation in national and international competitions, the development of a variety of researches and the construction of buildings and installations, developing projects that operate both in the small and large scale. Notorious is interested in expanding the register of the discipline of architecture, testing the scope of the project from a systematic and computational perspective, deepening the modalities of the form-forming procedure aiming to the construction of novelty.
Melisa Brieva is architect and Master in Project Research, housing orientation at the University of Buenos Aires. Together with Santiago Miret, she leads the Design Studio of the Master's Program in Project Research at the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism of the UBA, and previously she was Professor in Project Research, Architectural and Urban Project Studios in that same house of studies and Professor of Architectural Project Studio VI and Communication in the Architecture Career of the School of Architecture and Urban Studies of the Torcuato Di Tella University. She has been distinguished with a grant from the Fondo Nacional de las Artes (2018) for her Artificial Archetype research, a Master's Scholarship from the Secretaría de Ciencia y Técnica de la Universidad de Buenos Aires UBACyT (2015), an Exchange Scholarship FADU-UT Kaiserslautern Germany (2013), a research scholarship from the Interuniversity Council (2014) and the Academic Merit Scholarship CPAU (2011).
Santiago Miret is architect, Master in Project Research, housing orientation and PhD candidate from the University of Buenos Aires.
