Clear and well-defined geometric form as a model to organize the surrounding urban fabric
The site is located on Avenida Francisco Morato one of the main exit corridors of the city characterized by a succession of buildings of widely varied types and forms
This heterogeneity is in fact recurrent along highway exit corridors revealing the absence of an urban planning framework capable of defining and structuring their layout
In response we designed a plastically light building supported on four points establishing clarity order and presence within the urban landscape
