TCC building is located at the end of Gateway Park between plantations to ecological virtues and activity of the city. It is arranged as a passage, a support from one to the other.
At ground level, a large space is open to all, it is the front door to the library and the museum but also the extension of the park in the building.
On the floors, hanging gardens are home to lush vegetation and plants seem to have settled this great structure naturally.
On the slender appearance, lightness recalls the delicate balance of bamboo. Magic emerges from the contrast between the huge size of the building and the apparent fragility of the structure.
The light penetrates deeply through these structural lines. It is filtered, moderated by the foliage of trees before reaching the limits of reading rooms, exhibition halls.
