2.0 ABSTRACT

The project is stated as an artificial topography formed by a folding sequence that emerge from the earth, a ground that folds and unfolds to receive the shelters program as a protected space. In this way there is a redefinition of the base plan, not only to put on objects but a ground that turns to be a façade and an object at the same time, it is an organization instrument that acts as topography.

The shelter is organized in three programmatic-topographic bands, this three bands allow us to multiply its possible uses, giving flexibility, understanding the space not only as a container due to the different users that arrive to the place (hikers, schools, business, etc.) who require different activities as classes, videos and lectures.
