Santo Domingo Convention & Recreation Centre

In Santo Domingo, few venues can accommodate large scale events such as conventions, therefore this program satisfies an absent facility on the territory. In addition the city is in need of multifunctional public spaces that grant activity to the central district of the city.

The selection for he site is a reaction to the routes of formal and informal public transport, hospitality accommodation networks, availability and potential for urban transformation. The immediate context of the plot is surrounded by major overpasses representing a visual and physical boundary in the area which in combination with the intense traffic congestion, diminish the urban quality.

The proposal provides a public open space to improve the urban quality with a open plaza to give space to the sidewalk. The centre amenities such as theatre, restaurants, casino and gallery.
