The idea of the project is the construction of an exportable concept of wifi-media pavilion located in the heart of a university campus. The building performs as a virtual interface providing public internet access and a singular meeting spot for students to hung out, and relax . The star/shaped pavilion is divided into 5 different spaces surrounding a central courtyard that guaranties maximum natural lighting and ventilation.The island raises 1.5 meters from the natural level of the ground though a white gravel landscape.

Rising above the skyline of San Jose in Costa Rica, set right in front the Sabana Park, the new “Central Park” of the city, a recreational area in continuous construction development.

The building offers an ideal model of sustainable urban living by reducing reliance on transport and balancing energy consumption between its mixed-use program of day- and night-time activities. Program include  mixed commercial and retail spaces together with a business centre, offices, conference rooms, hotel floors and Casino.

The proposal responds to an area located right on the border between two different urban patterns . The building facade intended to reflect this through a transition of different scales of hollow,  from  larger and more public, ones, to the most domestic and small ones. The cover shot makes up a significant part that defines the image of the building at urban level. It aims to promote the use of their spaces and relate them to a compositional languag linked to an organic image.
