Located
in the city of León,
in the prosperous interior state of Guanajuato, this conference center and
exhibition space symbolizes the prosperity and innovation of the
local leather industry. The site is in a low-density district that includes a
stadium, a park, and dispersed cultural buildings.
The
facility has several layers: an open ground level that allows the landscape to
flow through; a translucent volume that hovers above; and a partly concealed
below-grade expanse. The three layers are connected by transparent structural
“baskets.” These playful, natural shapes contain vertical circulation, joining
the levels with voids rather than with solids; variations in size correspond to
the hierarchy of function. The woven, transparent baskets distribute light to
the different levels, particularly to the below-grade services. In the floating
upper level, which contains the display areas, the baskets illuminate the space
from within.
The
ground plane swells and dips under the building like a wave carrying a boat. The
entirely artificial terrain bulges and folds in order to accommodate the
below-grade café, parking, exhibition spaces, and auditorium. These components
register on the surface as soft, swollen volumes covered by a grass skin. The
upper level of the building is framed by a large box truss. Its translucent
facade is punctuated by a mottled, digital pattern, an index of readings of
light and views. Inside, a ribbon like wall provides an exhibition surface. The
double-sided configuration allows for natural light on both sides. Finally, the
open, un-programmed ground level is defined by the tension between the created
topography and the floating volume.
