2.0 ABSTRACT

The main goal of the project is to provide the community of Marinilla with a space where their cultural identities can be expressed, recognized and most importantly can be promoted and preserved. This is a building conceived as an open space, where relevant traits of the paisa culture like gardening, planting, playing guitar, drinking coffee or simply rest on a hammock take place around classrooms that are constantly exposed to the town´s weather and natural environment.

The educational park aims to become a meeting place around learning, defined as a practice based on the building of knowledge through the dialogue between people and the built and natural environments. The Marinilla project more than a building is a public space itself. It is a system conceived on the idea of growth and expansion capable of providing spatial opportunities to accommodate the needs and wants of future users.
