Landmarks
Dispersing discreet iconic elements on the landscape, our project proposes a systematic intervention on the territory that articulates a new formal identity for the tourist corridor minimizing the environmental impact. The strategy starts with the same basic diagram, a double-sided pavilion defined volumetrically by the inclusion of one horizontal and one vertical frame. This basic arrangement will alter its parameters according to the specifics of every site; the pavilion will rotate, climb, and peep out until finding its right position in and unto the landscape.

Interpretation Center
The Interpretation Center of the Colomichicó Archeological Site has an exterior volumetric configuration that blends in with its surroundings and an open plan that allows for continuous inside-outside visual relationships. Every room is configured as a viewing point to the landscape, thanks to the perspectival intensification of converging diagonal walls and ceilings. By individualizing volumetrically every programmatic component, the visitors will understand the building as a compact group of those Viewpoints Pavilions they visited on the mountains.

On the landscape, the volumes disperse to intensify our sensorial experience; on the Visitors Centers, they congregate to makes us think on the cultural and geographical complexity of the region.
