The project is planned as a driving force for publicising, supporting and raising awareness of contemporary creation. It has been designed to be a testing ground open to all cultures with his 5433m2 (cost 9,8 millions of euro)
The screen is an ensemble of glass pannels who work like a japanese origami all around the building. It is an element who makes the building lighter, together with the trasparent ground floor, trough which we cannot see the interior court, and the terrasse on the 3th floor, which breaks the continuity of the screen.
