The project is a railway tunnel located in Lebu, reused as a cultural pavilion, its purpose is to recover an abandoned monument of great importance to the area and at the same time restore the value and importance of the railway to the city, promoting local culture. It is the adaptation of the Tunnel through steel arches, to function as a cultural and exhibition pavilion, where the railway and mining history of Lebu is exposed and at the same time, an itinerant artistic exhibition.
At the ends of the tunnel, the project proposes two volumes, architectural pieces, which contain the necessary program for it to be functional (basic services, areas of rooms, etc.) and a headquarters for the regional heritage secretary.
