The elevator diagram is a proposal concerned with the question of how to intervene in the contemporary city, with Luxembourg as an example. The proposal takes as a ground point the geography of the city, analyzing the dichotomy of the valley and the plateau as a particular characteristic, and intends to create an architectural interface capable of revealing that specificity that is often clouded by the congestion of the contemporary city.

As a tool to develop this awareness, the proposal uses the mechanisms of perception and patient detection where cognitive activity is required to build an architectural experience. Lastly, the project explores the possibilities of intervention in the underground space of the city and the programmatic alternatives to the current model of food production.
