Article source: TETRO ARQUITETURA The Rola-Moça State Park is one of the most important green areas of the State of Minas Gerais. Located in the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte, it houses some of the sources that supply the capital, as well as the natural habitat of species of endangered fauna such as the brown jaguar, the ocelot, the maned wolf, the wildcat, the macuco and the stag So the Park is situated in a transition zone from Cerrado to Atlantic Forest, rich in ferruginous fields, which are very rare, being found only in the iron and iron quadrangle and in Carajás.

The lightness in the implantation and the extreme horizontality of its shape make a striking presence in the landscape.

The snack bar has openings inside and outside the building, allowing it to operate even when the main museum is closed. The chosen materials seek to refer to the place where the building is located through its dark brown color, making reference to the existing canga soil composed largely of iron ore.
