The entire synthesis is structured around a central pillar and turns towards south-east, aiming for the good orientation and the view of the horizon. Following the axes x, y, z the elements of the synthesis, from raw concrete, meet on the site creating spaces, boundaries and sights, in a logic of endless motion” the architect describes.
