Based on the same concentric cicle design, the landscape is sliced, elevated or sank on several points, forming various elements used as benches to rest, slots to lighten the interior and ramps that lead to the basement.

The basement, an open plan space, hosts all necessary spaces for the learning and information center. All uses ( reception, exhibition space, auditorium) are strategically placed around the translucent cone in order to be naturally lighted thanks to its numerous slits that shed ample lighting to the basement.
