The "Vegas Altas" Center grows in an ambiguous peripheral location, in a land that is both urban and agricultural. Occupying the first or last crop field. The architectural proposal is intended to highlight this timeless condition of building belonging to the ?Vega? as a free-standing building, floating in the countryside like a giant bale of straw with a flat horizon.
