Scala Workcenter:
Contorno Avenue, an ancient border /
The intended limit of the planned
city /
The building in that line, an area of
hospitals /
In a meeting of buildings and health /
Of urban expansion with medical
attention /
The technological image of the built
body /
Reflected in a human and mechanic
figure: /
The base opened to the street, three
garage floors /
The fragmented central body and the
aura ring /
Redefining the horizon in a circle. /
The escalation of the volume
reinterprets /
The urban law by proposing the
inclined prism /
In the limit of the skin and bones /
Of yellow and white metals /
Supported in the concrete towering
volume /
A vascular tube in support to the
steel structure / Living flows in crude artificial ores.
