Cross section

The new infrastructures, more intangibles, with almost no physical support, do not so harshly impact the land. Its easy development allows to functionally optimize old territories. Every program is possible in every site. Isotropy

Verticality.. & waterscape The tower buildings as power symbols. They can contribute to clarify the urban identity and moreover they enlarge the typological repertoire.

Hybrid programs In front of the functional specificity of the space in the industrial era, the neotertiary offers a higher functional complexity which implies the abandonment of the “zoning” and the superposition of different functions (hybrid programs) in one building.
