A place to design new connections. A facility with growth potential, where citizens are challenged to take the initiative and continue to foster connections. The central large hallway takes up the bulk of the space, creating an atmosphere that is easy to drop in and, by being long, simultaneously accommodates activities such as taking a break at the café, viewing artwork, or listening to a concert. The double lattice, an essential element in terms of structural equipment, is a buffer between the grand corridor and the smaller rooms, and the buttresses are spatialized by the extended depth for exhibiting, standing by the windows, and so on.
