The sides of the faceted enclosure adjust to the scale of the nearby buildings, generating concave spaces that enhance the surrounding public areas; inside, the auditorium takes up the central space and adapts to a variety of events.
On the outside, the volume is a distinctive presence with clear concrete at the base and pale-toned brick on the upper levels, asserting its institutional character. The interior, however, is defined in generic terms to permit changes in the program.
Brass is combined with opaque or clear glass, so the appearance of the building’s facades changes throughout the day. The large windows with panoramic views of the city bring light into the auditorium, which occupies a central position.
