The project, developed at the Bartlett School of Architecture, focuses on an almost lost Civilization: The Lost City (Ciudad Perdida) in Colombia. Its original inhabitants named Kogi are now coming out of the Sierra mountain territory with their pilgrimage and idea of ‘Aluna' to warn the public to protect the ecosystem of the estuaries in Santa Marta.

The overall project tries to embrace the idea from 'Aluna' while translating it into architecture. The building is an archive of the Lost City, of 'Aluna', which records their 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 Kogi's pilgrimage chapel and public gallery. Nature is partly merged with building, in turn, the building extends its patterns to surrounding as well. It is a medium in-between Kogi and the public, in-between indigenous and contemporary.
