Proposal Axonometric
The design process aims to enhance circulation while preserving the existing green areas and residences. Open spaces are created to seamlessly connect the interior with the exterior, thoughtfully integrating the elements outlined in the proposal diagram.
This kiosk project aims to provide a unique experience for passersby, standing out with its innovative and functional design. The main structure features a cantilevered slab, suspended by steel cables that give it a sense of lightness and dynamism.
The kiosk is seamlessly integrated into the context of a market area, where food stalls create a vibrant and constantly moving atmosphere. Its design seeks to complement this environment without detracting from the commercial flow of the market, while offering a gathering point that respects the area’s dynamics. Aluminum panels serve as a hermetic closure, protecting the space when not in use and allowing the kiosk to adapt to the needs of the environment. This design combines aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability, reinforcing the connection between the kiosk and its immediate context.
