Towers, long rectangular buildings, light balconies, terraced houses, a curving building, a high triangle, hinge structures, squares and avenues form an urban composition of architectural elements-events forced from the lot to complex, varied, changing and articulated visual and connecting relationships, aimed at the creation of an artificial “landscape” capable of relating, through analogical allusion, to the hilly landscape that functions as backdrop. The intervals between the architectural structures becomes a spatial counter-form that both projects them and contains them in a necessarily consequential relationship.
