Centre for Wetlands Ecological Research and Environmental Education Part 2 Project 2006 Drago Vodanovic URachel Gray University of Chile | Chile The project was motivated by the incipient national interest to protect and to investigate natural significant areas, as the wetlands are.Its architectural structure -conceptual, spatial, constructive- implies an important valuation and adjustment to its environment, looking for specific answers for the complex relation nature-edification.The project’s path shape recognizes the different natural strata by it pass and generate the main connector space; the glazed gallery which permits the relation between programmes, users and mainly between architecture and nature. This gallery makes possible the use of natural renewable resources, creating a symbiotic relation between the building and its environment. Drago Vodanovic URachel Gray The project stands out for several reasons; the first one is that it responds to a theme with international importance as the ecological disaster of the Chilean wetlands. That’s why a building of such characteristics supplies needs that the student discovered and designed in a remarkable visionary way.The proposal has a very interesting way to be placed in the landscape, respecting its particular characteristics as well as taking advantage of its potential; which not only stands out in the spatial-form concept, but also in the intelligent development of the constructive design, going further by creating echo-conscious technological systems.
