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.

Históricamente, la Arquitectura se ha debatido entre el ornamento y la estructuración de la forma. Elementales propone una reconciliación entre estas dos figuras aparentemente antagónicas. Se propone una aproximación organizativa al ornamento, al tiempo que se exploran los alcances ornamentales de la organización. Los elementos de la Arquitectura resultan el campo de estudio central de la investigación, desde los cuales se procura la construcción de modelos donde estructura portante y forma se integran en una totalidad que lleva embebida la ornamentación.
Domos, fachadas, columnas, escaleras, bóvedas, cubiertas, portales, son sólo algunos de los elementos de la Arquitectura que, a lo largo de la historia de la disciplina, han integrado formas de ornamentación, estructura portante y organizaciones heterogéneas. Además, han sido objeto de estudio desde las ópticas del estilo, el carácter y la tectónica, todos conceptos que requieren de una profunda reflexión entre el modo de aparecer y la organización interna de los objetos.
Con un intenso trabajo en la problematización de los medios de representación contemporáneos, la investigación busca profundizar en los sistemas que componen a éstos, y otros, elementos de la Arquitectura con el objeto de construir hipótesis, no sólo respecto de su organización, sino también, respecto de los efectos y mensajes involucrados en sus potenciales transformaciones. Así, se persigue la construcción de conocimiento disciplinar que aporte claridad al problema de la ornamentación en relación a la estructura subyacente de la forma arquitectónica.
