In order to achieve that we have agreed to construct a very neutral and discreet marquee in terms of shape and appearance, which in no way will out-shine the already existing structure.

The translucent polymethacrylate is chosen for its neutral image and the visual lightness it offers, as well as its role as sunscreen. At night the entire structure is illuminated by LED’s which transform it into a light portal.  Image Courtesy © José Hevia
