Description
It is often the case where the project is a direct expression of the surrounding urban area, but when, as in this case, where there is an absence of such, a “non-place” caused by numerous factors, the only solution is to leave a strong architectural impression that functions as a landmark.
The structure presents an “L” shaped floor plan, being characterized vertically by robust lines, not dissimilar to sculpturesque forms and styles. In fact, the structure has the peculiar quality of presenting varying volumetric shapes, depending on the observer’s position: from a three dimensional solid to effectively disappearing, an optical perception comparable to the bow of a ship.
The aesthetic impact is further highlighted by the chromatic juxtaposition of the panels in sheet metal which confer quite the visual effect and whose materials cause various lighting effects.
