While the extent and complexity of the programme prompted the
construction of more than one volume, the terms of the area planning
guidelines allowed 100% occupation of the site, with a height limit
which suggested a single compact building. This apparent contradiction
was resolved by the design of a great “container” which houses in its
interior the pavilions with their different functions, like an
architecture inside an architecture.The seven and a half-metre geometrical grid modulates the side into
autonomous units, recreating an urban structure of streets and squares
in its interior. The building is divided internally into four blocks.
The least regular of these contains the catering services and stores.
The two linear blocks which frame the central space are given over to
offices and meetings rooms. The conference hall, which occupies a central position, is bounded by four vertical
communications towers, and projects its triangular from beyond the glass
skin of the façade. The roof of the main hall has been made accessible,
serving a variety of different functions and taking the form of an
elevated central square within the urban layout of the building’s
interior.Program: two auditoriums with a capacity for 2,000 and 1,500 people
respectively, offices, exhibition hall, cafeteria, restaurant,
banqueting hall, and car park.
