Introduction

Principles
1. Urbanism
The building moves backwards its main axis to define a large public square; which not only serves the city , but also its own activity through temporary exhibitions.
2. Building
2.1. The building order is conditioned by the scale of the different streets: a commercial northward, institutional eastward and residential southward.
2.2. The program is ordered from a interior space where existing trees are preserved.
2.3. The building opens through terraces that promote encounter spaces in height.
2.4. The scale and materiality consolidate the nation's cultural hub.
