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.

The project is presented as an articulator between the existing natural ecologies in the contest area and the visitors of the park. An urban park on the scale of the edge of the City of Buenos Aires that aims to encourage the proliferation of existing native ecosystems.
Four longitudinal trails that connect towards the center of the proposal and at its extreme edges, with an access path to the west and a dock to the east, fly over meadows populated with native tree species, and generating floodable channels on their sides, where proliferation reeds and marginal forests.
The proposal is a linear urban park that suggests the revitalization of a neglected sector of the City of Buenos Aires, through the construction of a link between nature and human recreational and sports activities.
All the trails are subdivided into two, enabling a strip of pedestrian circulation for the walk, and a strip of hybrid use between bicycles, skateboards, skateboards and runners. Intermittently, widenings emerge on the paths that enable the appearance of squares.
The squares present four types of programs. First, spaces for leisure and recreation with tables and chairs; then, aerobic posts, where machines for light physical exercises are installed; there are also three areas for toilets, which include changing rooms and showers; and finally, playgrounds for children, with climbing games, hammocks and baseball pitches.
