The new settlement plays a central role for the town defying the square through its cantilever porticoes and structure contiguity. In the space hierarchy, the three volumes, enriched by a brick covering, create an urban space where the public becomes community.

The urban fabric, matrix of the project, defies its external and internal areas, designs spaces and paths that continually interact with each other. The different height levels emphasize these spaces and allow them to be worked in section.
