The intended usage inspires an high-tech architecture, both in terms of its function and of its aesthetics. A long building formed by two parallel bars united by a central gallery is configured according to the precise rhythm of metal structures, made of reticulated beams and thin pairs of pillars which support them with a suspension system. The free interior space permits adapting to its various functions, with the exception of a central nucleus which is intended for social interaction. The high-tech materials – steel, glass, prefab panels – affirm a desire to provide a counterpoint to the surrounding nature.
