In response to the shortage
of amusement spaces aimed at children in big cities, this building arises as
Pocoyó cartoons' epicentre.
The design of this space
harmonizes with the white and continuous Pocoyó virtual world where children
play a leading role as well as the animated characters created to accompany
Pocoyó.
The building blends in all
these animated objects with colours and volumes together with a friendly
atmosphere.
This building itself is a
containing system made up of illuminated space capsules where a wide range of
activities can be carried out so that the children can enjoy developing skills
such as psychomotricity, creativity and ingenuity as well as the sensory
awareness.
The bridge-form structure
houses a clear and open space where the space capsules float surrounding the
main figure of this virtual world (Pocoyó) which, besides its structural
nature, hosts the main vertical communications such as stairs and even a
amazing slide connecting the different spaces in the building.
Materials that are utilized
are specially designed for the little ones so that they can be soft, adaptable
and flexible as well as dynamic and cozy. The design of each space capsule has been
specially performed to recall each of the most popular Pocoyó characters.
Colours, volumes and other sort of characteristics have been created in harmony
with how they look and act.
The building has an amazing
media facade that interacts with its surroundings by the use of animated
projections.
Offices, which are the
creation and production engine, are placed in the highest floors. Furthermore,
its lush green roof on top has a restaurant and a marvellous viewing gallery so
that visitors can enjoy the best views of the city.
