Thebuilding is part of a wider circulation net thatincludes cycle and pedestrian pathways on the periphery of the archaeologicalsite . Throughthese paths one can have a tour and visit the cenotes and the bird-watchingstructures that are distributed among the landscape’s attractions.
The lodge-museum is situated very close to the archaeological site in a way that various(aerial) views to the monuments are provided from both of its sides.
Betweenthe different levels of the lodge, various covered terraces - porches arecreated offering views to the surrounding landscape and archaeological site andproviding space for recreation and contemplation.

A suspended artificiallandscape
Thebuilding leaves the physical environement-landscape untouched offering a freebrowsing through it.
Naturepenetrates the building while the latter evolves as an artificial landscapethat is separating from the ground.
Theflowing water transforms the open spaces- terraces to physicalmicro-environments
Atthe grounding of the building the landscape declines and forms an open spacerelated to the museum which can function as an open-air exhibition area.

The water terraces
Theopen part of the building functions as a platform that leads the water to thelowest level where the museum is situated.
Thehorizontal parts of this platform – water terraces are surfaces formed bygeometrical patterns.
Smallpools are created when the terraces are fed by the rainwater.
Thewater flows from the rainwater cistern that is situated at the top of thebuilding through the terraces and at the same time through a parallel canal that reinforces its flow andbrings into action the propellers that are situated at the lowest level .Theenergy produced by the propellers is used for the building’s facilities.
