Text description provided by architect.
The booth is yet another object of the agricultural landscape surrounding the district of Perleta.
It is a metal piece constructed of profiles and sheets, a product of the prefabrication resembling other elements of the environment such as silos, greenhouses or agricultural facilities.
Simple finishes in wood and metal form a linear and transparent piece, with veils of steel that diffuse light and open up to the square where the project is located, next to a community center and a school.
The booth becomes urban furniture with small gestures like a wooden bench that lights the entrance, or flooring that lets existing trees through, providing comfort to the square and building a boundary separating it from the road.
