In spite of the fact that the site for the project is located in Mendoza's main municipal park, the winning proposal is based on the role of the building in the construction of the city, rather than approaching the project as an isolated object in the middle of a green zone. The building is conceived as a series of modules that are placed along a pedestrian street. Each of these modules is composed of an open area and a covered area both of which are used as exhibition spaces. Along the pedestrian street there are services such as restaurants and restrooms, as well as the main entrances to the exhibition spaces. The green strip between the surrounding housing and the fair building has been maintained, articulating the relationship between the two. By acting as a threshold, this area of the park facilitates the transition between the residential area and the trade fair zone. [SP] Planteo Urbanístico. Al plantearnos el proyecto del Recinto Ferial, dentro del área dominada por el Parque Metropolitano y el futuro Teatro, pensamos que el proyecto debía construir ciudad y no ser un objeto singular en medio de una zona verde. Esta construcción de ciudad la planteamos a través de un proyecto modular repetitivo a la manera de manzanas urbanas dispuestas a lo largo de una calle pública peatonal. Estos módulos están compuestos por un recinto cubierto y un área abierta. Los espacios cubiertos son principalmente los salones expositivos cerrados, y los espacios abiertos, son los lugares de exposición al aire libre. Sobre esta calle peatonal ubicamos los restaurantes, baños públicos y los ingresos principales a cada espacio de exposiciones, abierto o cerrado. Como articulación entre el sector residencial y el Recinto Ferial mantenemos el parque lineal, pero formando parte de un parque mayor que abraza todo el predio. Este parque actúa como fuelle entre las viviendas y el Recinto Ferial, haciendo que la transición urbana entre ellos sea más amable.
