Project developed for FR-EE Fernando Romero EnterprisE by Mauricio Ceballos and Team.

The project will be nestled within a sprawling bamboo forest, embracing nature while dedicating all underground space to essential infrastructure. This concept inspired the project’s name: ‘Below Nature, Above Infrastructure’.

The project involves the development of a conceptual landscape proposal for the master plan of the Base Area (superheadquarters). This conceptual proposal encompasses the Central Green Axis, spanning an intervention area of 326,000m2.

Comprising three main zones—the ecological zone, the transport zone, and the coastal zone—the proposal is designed to integrate various functions seamlessly. The ecological zone features a mountain designed to accommodate a botanical garden, serving as a hub for sustainable education initiatives. At the heart of the project lies a major transport node where six metro lines converge, linked by a sunken plaza—an essential element of the design.

Along the coastal front, a series of cultural spaces and a floodable coastline are envisioned, adaptable to the area’s needs and conditions.
