Set in a quarter of the city where nothing of the old urban structure survives, the building achieves autonomy without appearing monolithic.
The complex organizational structure, in which uses are repeatedly superimposed to create tensions between them, follows a constructive logic that deviates entirely from conventional layouts. The individual volumes cannot be read, delivering the impression of a continuous public space. With design and construction calling for untreated in-situ concrete, it tests the limits of formwork and casting techniques.
