What is the purpose of art in this case?

What can we propose opposite the occupation? Our response is progress. We considered the context and went with a completely contemporary design, as we wanted to deliver the message loudly and spread it widely.

The architecture is inviting and eliminates any kind of barrier. The project is molded around the existing urban fabric.
