Presentación Proyecto FinalTaller de Diseño

The project United World College NZ  wishes to  grant its users an open and free space in which they can develop their creativity in a critical period such as adolescence.The architectonic responded to this is to offer students a space for them opened to a landscape in three different levels: the top of the hill, the middle of the hill and the bottom of the hill, each characterized to produce different feelings as the days and the season change through a sustainable skin that covers the building. Architecture pretends to be a platform to create their dreams, not a barrier.
