The glazed facades of the building’s Nave are made up of a high (up to 13 m) curtain wall and outsize glazed surfaces (3 m L x 4.85 m H), which constitute a key challenge with respect to the challenges of seismic activity.

The opaque facades made from a double metallic skin coated with asymmetric vertically veined corrugated metal, perforated in stripes, contribute to expressing the building’s verticality.

Guaranteeing comfortable conditions for occupants whilst keeping environmental impact to a minimum are the main goals featured in the ecological ambitions of the metropolitan council and the project: natural ventilation, water resource management, construction material quality, the use of wood, energy supply, biodiversity safeguarding, low-nuisance worksite, and extensive use of roofing to generate electricity.
