Centro Arrecife becomes the link between nature and architecture, acting as a research center for the conservation and preservation of the reef. Its strategic location is in Punta Vacía Talega due to the occupation of different natural components –the mangrove, the forest, the rock formation, the beach, and the reef– key to maintaining a healthy reef. The architectural interventions of the complex fill the remnants that nature has left and are entirely raised from the ground to prevent a more significant ecological impact on the site. The proposal becomes a path through the landscape that achieves well-being between architecture and nature. Centro Arrecife is an intervention that celebrates the natural resources of Loíza and promotes the importance of their preservation.
