This dynamic structure is permeated by an artificial topography derived from the natural terrain, and provides space for parking platforms and delivery. A forecourt that extends into the interior of the building is delineated by curved, stepped seating. The building is anchored in its location by the tower at its core, which provides advertising space and a projection screen. The line of the double-shelled industrial glass façade follows the roof’s edge, which rises in a spiral form. Integrated into the façade are sunshading and supports.
