2016 / Final Year Project

Paseo de San José / San Cristóbal /   Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Landscape Between Neighborhoods and Faculty of Culinary Arts

The project's concept is for the proposed building to itself become the intermediate landscape between the San Cristóbal and San José neighborhoods, while simultaneously incorporating a faculty of culinary arts as a higher education center, replacing the existing secondary school specializing in restaurant management.

In this way, the project becomes a park for the residents, with a building that houses show-cooking kitchens, classrooms, a library, a media center, a restaurant, an events hall, and a tasting room, allowing the building to offer activities and be open to the public at all times. The resulting landscape incorporates the hillside, the cave, the forest, and the shade, with the building adapting to the site: a steep staircase with loose soil and the specific climate of the northern part of the island of Gran Canaria.
