About the project (provided by the applicant)
The Migrant Center is a 5-floor building and basement, with an access plaza on the corner between two streets beginning with one floor and gradually expanding to reach 5 floors on the opposite corner, it also has access through the basement that connects to an adjacent park. The building is designed from a circular central square, which is the point that integrates all the spatial dynamics, and becomes one of the main meeting places in the migrant center, since it has visual control of all the spaces inside the building.
The building is composed of a soft organic facade that covers the building as if it were a blanket. This facade is composed of ETFE panels that open and close automatically according to weather conditions.
The design of the Migrant Center is structured based on three components: formal, spatial and socio-symbolic. The architectural program is defined based on 7 cores: Health, services, accommodation, education, culture, integration-meditation and thinking.
