Located in the city of Babahoyo, in the province of Los Rios, Ecuador, El Tallercito is a space for experimental production of architecture and design where Natura Futura Arquitectura and the visual lab Urbanofacto is currently operating. The project is built to share this space within a problematic city lacking cultural facilities.

Architects experimented new types of envelopes, using the composition as a tool of exploration with elements of local construction, common and low resources. To encourage the dialogue with the outside, on the ground floor the openings are folded in their entirety, becoming a space of connection and convergence of activities, responding to a goal in its tectonic; finding a balance between the dense and lightweight, symmetrical and asymmetrical, the raw and the polished.

Leaving a space where you get new references and incentives that means having a more complex vision of the possibilities conceived of the city, supported by presentations of documentaries, studio works, collective talks, works of drawings, urban interventions and alternative proposals.

El Tallercito opens up a whole new field of reading as we envision a place of presence and reflective action from the programming processes and shared experiences.
