Public Space for Business Forum

At the edge of town, in a landmark of the new XXI century Granada , the new event space for the office building Business Forum is a new landscape for the event and the enjoyment of both users the building as the general public. The design concept of this space was based on the flexibility of movement, ie this space is intended to drive the movement of visitors, and in turn that is easily perceived . The ground floor is designed as a continuous carpet on which the building rests . Unfolds on two levels , a first access, and less to developing events. This carpet is a garden furrowed by lines of force accompanying the tour inviting feel . The lines are the boundaries that make up the garden as if it were fractured landscape . Thus, harbor waterways that cross , containing the plant topography offers the aromas and colors of the different species, and define the different materials that come our way or break . The gap is resolved diffracted geometry of lines , in continuity , again suggesting progress. The space below, undulates its edge by a sloping topography plant to house the events to develop themselves from the view of the road. It is a confluence space , developed in the transverse as well as based on boundary lines of both areas of different tree and shrub species such as the whisper of water in a pond. The space on the roof of the building is proposed as a dream garden from which to enjoy the magnificent views of the Sierra , the city, the Alhambra and the Vega. In one wing , visitors will be floating on a sea. In another stroll down a red carpet through clouds .
