The building is structured as a central organization, whose programmatic core is the auditorium, and which, mediated by a circulatory bellows, deploys leisure and educational programs on the perimeter. The public programs of general access deploys in the outer ring of the ground floor, towards the Rodrigo Bueno neighborhood, the access, the bar and the library, with semi-covered areas extend the programs to the exterior.
The exhibition areas, both covered and semi-covered, are located towards the Ecological Reserve. Located in the center of the building, the auditorium has a permeable perimeter enclosure system that can be opened expanding its spatiality, extending its interior to the spaces of the entrance hall, the library and the exhibition hall. This modality enhances the use of the auditorium and makes a dynamic space that supports multiple uses even more flexible and expandable.
The building generates series of expansions both on the ground floor and on the top floor. The expansions are understood as extensions of the quality of the interior space in semi-covered and uncovered spaces. In the case of the library, the expansion is the connection with the bar, giving the possibility of the appearance of a hybrid space where the activities of both programs can be integrated.

The current architectural project is crossed by themes foreign to a discipline whose principles are deeply speculative. Problems from the social field promoting anthropocentric visions, retrograde themes resulting from a conservative historical revival, emerging positions of political correctness trends distorting disciplinary purposes into common sense proposals, have consolidated a bleak, unimaginative and, above all, banal disciplinary panorama. KPY 1139 proposes to return to the sources of a cheerfully projective discipline, investigating the bases of the most eloquent projective narrative: science fiction cinema.
The aim is to develop architectures with a high degree of speculation regarding architectural organization modalities that encourage the consideration of absolutely possible scenarios, charged with an unprejudiced disciplinary imagination. Informed by architectural representation modalities, on the one hand, and science fiction narratives on the other, KPY 1139 aims to deconstruct the rigid contemporary formality, bureaucratically concerned with the "common good" and "good intentions", burying its nose in futuristic visions, with the implicit hypothesis that the architectural project is future.
