BORDER CONSOLIDATION
The Project its formulated from an open and hybrid set of design keys, with transforming power: scale, activity, strategy and performance.
SCALE
It’s an infrastructure intervention. The size of the activities, the plot, and the amount of people who will use these facilities are of a metropolitan scale.
ACTIVITY
The activities and events that are going to take place at the Exposition Center has a grate ability to transform the city of Planaltina. These activities are related to the culture, sport, education and leisure, which are one of the most important of the contemporary times.
STRATEGY
From the beginning, the plot has the calling of articulating between natural environment and the city. Located in the interface between the conservation area “Estação Ecológica Águas Emendadas”, (EEAE) and the city, it’s a unique place, with the incredible ability to rethink the relationship between the city and the environmental reserve.
PERFORMANCE.
The object here it’s not valid on its own, but for its territorial performance and its behavior towards the reality of present and future activities.
