A new ministry for the country, a proposal for linking two neighborhoods

The proposal is based on a project of strong urban characteristics, conceiving a clear synergy between architecture, landscape and city.

The excellent conditions of the property allow developing an architectural idea that takes into consideration the plot as a whole, thus taking advantage of the total length to generate diverse relations with the urban environment.

The proposed architectural complex is defined by a plate of variable thickness that is related to the existing buildings and the property, making this new piece compatible with the urban environment of the area and the regulations in force.
