open assembly of receptive surfaces: it is by geological continuity that the building integrates itself in the site, a preliminary topographical alteration that allows public spaces to slide from underneath (lower lobby, cafeteria and library) to above (the restaurant) of the ground level. the double façade in etched glass is a filter, a superposition of two grids that mask and blur the complex relations of the interior surfaces, ephemeralizing them. this spectral logic is reinforced by the architecture of this elements. the translucent resin surfaces, lighted from the interior, flow from the ramps to the wall, all up to the inner decorative panelling in the halls creating surface tension and hierarchical contradictions.
