Magma

The variables of the project to consider were: Crater - Destination, Mountain - Views, Mountaineer - Security. On this, a concept was generated that unified the design under the same idea and gave it a spatial and aesthetic identity.


The project is generated from a stone road that allows us to frame the valley through the remembrance of a crater through a depression in the center of the different entrances to the areas of the hostel, with the intention that, on the day it is imposing and mysterious and at night a show full of life through the light as if the magma of a volcano appears, drawing a luminous guide for the climbers of the Nevado.


Landscape integration: The generated volumes are covered by endemic vegetation integrating the mountain, only some openings and corridors stand out from nature.
