The "Scenic Garden and Pavilion" ideas competition aims primarily to reorganize and comprehensively recover the area known as the "ecological parking lot," facilitating the integration of the Centro Cultural del Bosque (CCB) into the Chapultepec Forest itself. In other words, the project seeks a design that incorporates reforestation, architecture, and landscape for this territory—currently a parking lot—which must be reintegrated into the urban forest and contribute to strengthening the performing arts ecosystem represented by the CCB. The project includes the design of a Scenic Pavilion as a permanent space featuring non-intrusive, harmonious architecture that blends with the forest environment, creating an interconnection point between the performing arts ecosystem and the visual arts ecosystem toward the Zoo and the Museum of Modern Art.
The intervention will take place on properties owned by the CAAITBA (Social Security Fund for Surveyors, Architects, Engineers, and Technicians of the Province of Buenos Aires), located in the town of Mar Azul, in the Municipality of Villa Gesell, commonly known as the "Engineers' Campground."

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to seek new ways of living and daily solutions. The economic crisis triggered across various sectors has made it essential to invest in initiatives that contribute to overcoming these challenges, ultimately reflecting on the well-being and health of all. In response, the Council of Architecture and Urbanism of Rio Grande do Sul (CAU/RS) has launched the "Healthy House – Healthy City" public ideas competition, which reinforces the role of architects and urbanists as essential agents in developing solutions for a healthier and safer society. Furthermore, CAU/RS believes that hosting competitions is a democratic way to identify quality proposals that benefit society as a whole.

We believe that by gaining a deeper understanding of the realities faced by public sector professionals—including gardeners, urban planners, and municipal architects—we can better analyze and envision a brighter future for landscape management in spaces such as gardens and parks.
