The proposal aims to restore this iconic building, forgotten by its people. The design principal evokes the actual design components of this ancient construction by maintaining most of the components and integrating with a new library specialized in agricultural studies.
The proposal merge steel and glass to maintain the essence on the building, introducing a block along the west facade which will serve as a group study area focused on agricultural studies and using the rest of the space for administration areas, cafe's, multimedia rooms and bathrooms.
