The new building gets in relation with the existing building dates from 1980, this is a quadrangular prism with the portal frame marking composition. The volume is partially empty while the structure is preserved. The composition of our building reinterprets the original keys with a different constructive solution: a quadrangular prism structure with concrete walls with all the corners emptied, where we located the access. A spatial structure solves the roof, and his geometry give place to triangular skylights.
