A Promenade for Isolation

This building emerges as a solitary work from obscurity. Its form is a composition of disjointed rooms connected by common themes: frontality, obscurity, artifice, and seclusion.<br /><br />In the first part, the plan appears as a map of a promenade which is the main ordering device of the building structure.<br /><br />In the second part, the internal spaces are presented as isolated from each other as is the building from any external reference.<br /><br />In the sections, which constitute the third part, the building appears as layered facades emerging from planes of strata.
