Los Nogales School Cafetería

Under the idea of making an expressive and seismically efficient structure, the pavilion is designed with a single type V column of architectural concrete -using white ciment- which gradually rotates and reverses, generating an apparently random sequence. The resulting shape is very efficient to resist seismic forces.

The whole set of columns is content between two analogous planes that are dilated from the ground, pretending to float over the grass.

The simple program that houses the "auditeria" is divided into two independent and autonomous  areas, the kitchen and the great room, allowing it to use either as an auditorium and a cafeteria,  creating a multipurpose large format space for the school.
