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.

Object, landscape, field and unity seek to establish organizational platforms and, therefore, materials, to problematize alternative conditions for Architecture. The first problem, transversal to the four approaches, is the issue of scale. The scale of approximation to matter seems to be a continuous gradient with a tendency to infinity. And each approach allows interpreting disciplinary issues embedded in the matter that propose new approaches to historical problems. What is the role of scale in relation to size? The relativity of the approach to the problem of matter is linked and is feasible to articulate directly with respect to the organization. The role of Architecture, thus, becomes central regarding how to conceptualize size in relation to the problem of scale.
An alternative reality that does not depend on an anthropocentric vision, can give matter, and its logical construct: the organization, the opportunity to present heterogeneity of scalar approximations that are smaller and smaller and, at the same time, larger and larger with respect to the worlds they build. Likewise, each scale of approach is a world in itself, presenting the possibility of operating objectually, landscape-wise, as fields of proliferation or according to units of repetition. Object, landscape, field and unity seek to present heterogeneous and contemporary approaches to the material problem of Architecture from the organization of its most elusive elements and problems.
