The project concretises the will to leave a “dynamic” message, which fits the short insight and perception time of the building, which you relate to from a crook and unusual perspective.

The marquee does not “elevate” opposite the entrance, but “crumbles” in front of it lengthways, in line with the complex progression and the kinetic suggestions around. The idea of a rhythmic, modular and frequent structure without complicated details has come to mind this way.

Two materials have been essentially used: stone for the basement, steel and glass for elevations and roofing, according to a clear and coherent diagram.

The colour (green) is entrusted with the task of guaranteeing unity and the idea of a “brief, clear and unique gesture”.
