concept
The ability of organization, and assembly allows a community to strengthen relationships, principles, and strategies of intervention in the environment that surrounds us. Village organization and more specifically to its meeting space by excellence, structured the concept of this proposal.
the response to nomadism, is the ability to formalizing assembly structures, according to the needs, the flexible, adaptable and mobile. It is understood as a demand for meeting  man with nature, where he is responsible for its preservation.
In this structure we include actions that support the same concept of meeting: permanent exhibition, collecting and treating waste; socio-cultural activities (video and sound), "activity time". This will provide the residence time in the village location. Each visitor will plant a native plant species at the perimeter of the village. Reached the limit space of species planted, the village is raised by configuring its negative, representing a brand, meeting.
They are organized in four modular objects, unitary model that form a ring structure. Allow configurations according the territory and activities, obtaining meeting space, projection, protection, relations with the surroundings, the ambivalence of scenery and landscapes,  input distribution, confinement and consolidation.
