ILO - PERU
In a port city on the coast of Peru with high economic performance, the shape of the building tries to refer to a ship composed of a steel structure with glass panels, having its rhythm opposed to its circulation core.
In a more poetic context, the pillars have different heights that go beyond the upper slab and move in different directions on their own axis even though they all start from a single linear point, symbolizing a human being’s life and the population of the city, which although everyone comes from the same, the decision one takes, leads them to several different places. The slabs would be obstacles that we all encounter in our lives and that we must overcome them to reach our projected destination.
The ground floor was designed for an organic fair in the region creating living spaces where the population can make their purchases and generate a communion with the city. The first two floors are intended for the shopping center with stores, and the last floors serve as offices and co-working spaces.
The terraces would have their programs directed to observation spaces with gourmet areas and restaurants.
