The proposal consists of two main layers. The Event layer that intersect with a glass curtain and a surface layer above them, that its an event layer for the outside activities itself. The program of the building had to be very open and with the possibility to grow along with the new inhabitants. The Collider activity center will be able to incorporate many different ages and interests over time, and many types of communities from the informal meeting around an event, summer festival, a big volley ball or presentation to the special interests and common eating. The glass surfaces transform the rock surface in the light. Its homogeneity and the choice of natural materials and sustainable, the building is in keeping with its envelope. The walls are lined with concrete and canvas stretch ceilings meet the volume of the facets. Natural lighting, generous volumes, the atmosphere generated by the matter bluntly, are conducive to serenity necessary for learning sportsmanship.
