"City- leisure activities generators" imagines a project that contemplates different requirements- communicate, celebrate, inform, dreaming, resting, crossing, observing, reading, meditating, embracing, shopping, eating, drinking, loving. The resolutions of the project presents a sequence of inter related exterior covered spaces that define the limits of an exterior public court. Transparency and opacity, shade and light develop an enclosure/open space that aims a fusion/ contrast between the host construction, the inhabitants (parasites) and the cityscape. Like a filter, a thin transformable translucent and transparent skin, the project is able to generate leisure activities according to interior and exterior light. 2002 international public competition
