This is the concept from which this small building developed.  Image Courtesy © José Ángel Ruiz Cáceres

The coloured rays are displayed uninterruptedly by vertical bands of different wavelengths forming the security shutters of all the openings in the envelope. The frame around them is the achromatic background colour: black. The mural background is the mauve interior of the building. The closest colour to this, violet, will symbolise union with spiritual things.

The use of the ramp and the slope of the main cornices of the building pointing towards the entrance form part of one of the main premises in the development of this design: focusing the lines of sight on the doorway, bringing movement to the visual perception of the whole.

The entrance to the building has a large projecting sliding door which is an integral part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
