THE TOWERS
The challenge was to give homogeneity to those elements with such a different morphology, inducing dynamics that would make this place a neighbourhood - centre. The hub of the area is the square, a multifunctional place that can accommodate, if necessary, public performances, concerts and festivities. We decided to create an internal plaza, also a podium for the office towers, connected with a pedestrian axis to another plaza towards the direction of the Art District.
