The former is designed with continuous horizontal strips, trying to emphasize the horizontality of the structure, while simultaneously absorbing the different sizes of the windows. It is covered with prefabricated panels with a strong texture, made of black gravel. On the ground-floors, V-shaped concrete supports will be used, emphasizing the weight of the building.
