Punto de Información 2018

Project Details

DESCRIPTION

The project Information Point proposes a dual-purpose urban device: a small café and information point capable of also operating as an informal stage, a gathering surface, and a support for cultural, commercial, or community activities.

Conceived as a replicable prototype for different urban contexts, the system seeks to activate public spaces through lightweight, flexible, and adaptable infrastructure. Its design allows it to function both as a point for orientation and everyday interaction, and as a temporary platform for events, fairs, festivals, or cultural programs.

The device includes different construction versions depending on context and duration. A timber version, demountable and easy to transport, is intended for itinerant uses and temporary activations; while a version built with a metal structure and stainless steel is conceived as a permanent piece of urban furniture capable of integrating into parks, plazas, real estate developments, or pedestrian corridors.
