The Project focuses on an almost lost civilization in Colombia: the Ciudad Perdida (Lost City) and its inhabitants the Kogi people. It tries to embrace the idea of Aluna (the belief system of the Kogi) while translating it into architecture. The building is an archive of Aluna which records the messages and culture in an architectural language. Sitting at the estuary of Manzanares River in the city of Santa Marta, the building functionally works as the Kogi's place of pilgrimage and public gallery. Meanwhile, it plays a neutral role in relation to the landscape and context. The project is neither trying to praise Kogi’s culture nor spread it to the public, but seeks to neutrally tell their story.

The building emphasises a coherence of construction, material, atmosphere, spatial qualities and curated nature (light and water). It is a place that encourages people to pray or simply to stop, rest and marvel for a moment. Places sharpen in the perception of visitors, in their understanding of the location, the natural environs, and even the way they see themselves. The building helps visitors understand their relationship with nature and the unknown.
