The project consists of a master plan that offers two cultural spaces and a sports area, articulated through open spaces. The “Casino” and the CDC are distributed on platforms at different stories, in order to facilitate accessibility and connection between them, a stair ramp follows the topography to connect the upper section with the street level. To the south, this staircase becomes an open-air forum that functions as the end of a plaza that provides access to the CDC and the park. In a north-south direction, the proposal includes a pedestrian walkway connecting the CDC and sports area.
