conference hall, a gym, and a public square.
This building is situated in the north-western outskirts, and it is
meant to be a landmark for this place.
The project was made in cooperation with the inhabitants,
who made a fundamental contribution. At the moment a
weekly market is hold in the lot and the inhabitants asked to
keep it, because of this the public square is organised into
rows and it is free from any building.
In order to increase public spaces in quality and number, we
designed and internal public coutyard between the two par-
ts of the building.
