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.

Multiactive strata for the new EcoPark at Buenos Aires

Date 2016

Location Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Type Competition

Program Park

Project team Santiago Miret and Melisa Brieva

Collaborator Sofía Dominguez

The project operates according to three intricate systems in a series of associated behaviors. The first system consists of prototype domes that differentiate according to the pre-existing buildings in the park. The second is a circulatory system of paths that deploy pergolas and distribute activities according to delimitation sectors. Finally, the third system is the emergent one, as residual space between the paths and the buildings that, according to their disposition, area and proximity with other activities, will be updated as space for animals, as outdoor amphitheatres or as general recreational areas.

The project is based on a reorganization of the circulatory systems of the existing zoo, restructuring the way in which they recognize a spirit of leisure and recreation. The project preserves both the trees, pre-existing buildings, sculptures and lakes, restructuring the entire circulatory system giving it a reason for being and proposing a clear idea about the pre-existing infraestructure.
