Program and Calendar // Eva, Diana & Pascale

    We started thinking about our project with a second entrance for the ESDM. This would be located next to the existing building, on one side of the patio. We didn’t want to create only a marquee that would join the new entrance to the building of Santiago and the existing school but a space with a utility and a program.

    To begin we studied the shadows and possible routes to know where our project could work the best, taking into account the users and the existing building.

    The idea that we have now for the project is a two floors structure, the lower part where a footbridge links the new entrance to the building and which, in turn, would serve as a space for presentations, exhibitions and a runway.

    On the top floor will be a library. The two plants are linked, apart from the structure, by some mechanism whereby we want to reflect the change that occurs in the library, either by leaving a book or taking one, on the ground floor. This means, we would have a lower structure that change depending on the weight of the books and how users handle them, the structure works thanks to the existence of the library and his maintenance.
