Air, light, lightness.Fascinating landscapes, story that emerges from the rooftops, the balance between nature and built. It is with these materials that we wanted to confront. It is with the large-scale landscape that requires that we measure our project: the mountains that hug the city, the cathedral, main element that rises majestically from the built urban profile. Our project proposal is placed, therefore, between these two references. A building that inevitably emerge from other buildings, but that tries to emphasize even more the context in which he is allowed to grow. A simple box lined with a double skin of glass, contributing to sustainability and
usability of the building is mixed with air, light, landscape. A living skin which, with its changes, its bends, its stripping and thinning upwards interpret the lights in the sky, reflecting the surrounding landscape, offering fragments of the city reminding residents and visitors as the real protagonists of this land are once again the air, light, mountain. The main architectural elements that characterize the project are the skin of glass that wraps the building, the glass inside the court and the system of movement and distribution of offices.
