Offering information, as well as different touristic products (ticketing, etc ), the pieces have been created using the last available technology. Pretending to be recognizable pieces, the devices are as well adaptable to different urban situations.

Parting from this point, these necessities generate the possibility of making three different spaces according to the different functions needed. Thus, the pavilion is configured as a clover ground floor which, in fact, is the one that offers the biggest possible perimeter. At the same time, the division of the roof geometry in two different planes makes an indispensable shadow area created for the raining and hot days.

From the interior, the workers can feel they are, in fact, in an exterior space and, therefore visually included in the city.

All the rest constructive elements are either fixed directly to this main structure, or to different substructures arising out of the main one. The support on the ground it is made through adjustable elements which permit the object adaptation to different places. The rain water is collected in the roof, driven through an interior object´s tube and finally directly dewatered to the street.
