The main structure silhouette was designed in order to allow solar panels to be fixed on the south side with the angle needed. On the main road, the structure, slightly bending over, was conceived in order to receive advertisement and be profitable to the high school. On the north elevation, where the light penetrating from the exterior is homogeneous all day long without direct sunlight, polycarbonate sheets were installed allowing light to pervade the courts, without having a high warming effect. The envelope, originally designed to be in anthracite textile with good ventilation performance, was replaced by the same color sandwiched panels for budget purpose. To enter the project, the visitor steps into the red ramp meandering under the pine trees.

All the functions within the complex communicate with each other thanks to the voids created between the floors making the whole project more vivid.
