This is an office building for the public service in an urban environment. Organized into three overlapping volumes, the rotations was suggested by the geometry of the buildable parcel. The general appearance of the building is a glass box protected by a translucent metal filter, which screens the light and the views. The new building has to be a force for the renewal in an area which has been architecturally and socially degraded.
