CONCEPT: INFINITY OF ART: Expansion of Prado museum consist of an extension of new collections. The inspiration comes from the idea of the “infinite” as a simile of how art has been around us for decades, and the willing to reach knowledge.
This interpretation of the form fulfills the idea of the infinite with the form and how inside we can reach the original museum by seen from any part of the new expansion.

SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS CENTER
The project was focused on the site problem. The analysis gives us a variety of issues to solve. First, the pedestrian’s disconnection with the context. Second, the lack of nature. Third, security due to lack of activity. By establishing a business center in the Rio Coca Avenue (intervened sector), it was possible to connect two neighborhoods of the city that were initially disconnected through an educational and business meeting building that provides activity in the area.
The project at the time that connect two big neighborhoods solve the problem of pedestrian circulation. Furthermore to the user the creation of parks and circulation through the building that allows pedestrian to be the protagonist of the project while two buildings that face each other create a transition place.
The building is located at one side at the beginning of one of the biggest transport system of the city. On the other side, is located at the end of a street which connect the UDLA University. Based on this, the concept of the project is “the doors of knowledge” because of the relationship with these two elements.
