Places where it overlaps the nature of appropriate infrastructure for the stream of commerce, informational and social development of the road network, with the mythical scenarios road movies and literature. In recent years, structures have evolved to become vendors of services for large-format events that have involved more than just a change of scale. The project took on the challenge to change this trend and think about building a structure to administer a constant turnover in the presence of a heterogeneous and mixed-use expectations. A flexible space capable of becoming the scene of almost any type of activity. Ie converting a roadside restaurant in a versatile infrastructure for events and meals.

Lolita is located in La Almunia de Doña Godina, at exit 270, Highway A-2, in a strategic position from a logistical point of trade routes between Madrid-Barcelona and Valencia-Bilbao, a few kilometers from different cores population near the university facilities EUPL. The building seeks to exploit the variety and the mix of activities, based on the one hand to different user groups and other diversity in residence times ranging from 10 minutes to brown the casual visitor, the group loyal food that follows trade routes, mandatory rest time of carriers, the afternoons of students who take advantage of wireless networks or full day of the guests at a celebration.

The project is configured as a cumulative experiences in which, from the linkage of two distinct autonomous systems, we have explored the compatibility of free plant model with the model and certain specific areas. The system sets up a continuum soft, irregularly shaped and drilled with patios where clusters of furniture, like a camp, and flexible lighting enable various modes of organization. The interior is characterized by a stamped concrete slab / semiperforado and wood, glass and polycarbonate vertical walls. The facade is a double ribbon of variable section which provides a dynamic and variable in space, enabling a full scan of the surrounding landscape while creating, within a complex play of reflections and transparencies.

The drive system is a collection of specialty boxes, built by alveolar plates of 8 meters long and masonry walls that host specific programs and somewhat ritualized. Inside spaces are customized program criteria combined with elements drawn from popular culture. The system is linked with the environment through selected and fragmented views, creating a tight image, which allows blind to use supermarkets as road information support.

In the project, the systems group builds a new facility in the landscape that collects images of the nearby reference (warehouses, greenhouses, sheds, makeshift parking of trucks, road signs) to expand the concept of off-road equipment and place more close to public infrastructure.
