A public space organized and shared, in which you can read, learn, play, weaving new friendships, it becomes important to search for a lost stability. In this sense, a movable structure, articulated and integrated with the field, within which it is possible to carry out any activity sheltered from weather conditions, it is proposed as an alternative to the routine of daily life in the field intended to asylum seekers.
