A determined and defined body of stone attacked by a foreign body made of glass and steel: the native stone bears suffered the showroom at a local level; it though, with his incisive and innovative personality, dominates the new view of the city.

The objective of this work was to be able to monitor the project until the achievement of three fundamental aspects: the purity and simplicity of composition, together with the dialectical opposition of the masses, and complemented by an ever more urgent demand for sustainable performance of building.
