Description
Complying with the legal constrains imposed by the Expo’98 rnasterplan, the buildings are set on a platform that functions as a commercial belt around the perimeter, the latter compulsorily shaped as an arcade on the elevations facing the boulevard. The housing building is set as a U on the platform level, permeated by an arched passage that generates a semi-enclosed patio allowing public access to the apartments. In the office building area this U- shaped typology is received at street level generating a large public plaza, crowned by a mezzanine at the platform level. On the latter, besides access to the offices, a number of restaurants and cafeterias produce a constant flow of public movement.
