The old is taken and related to the new. The structure is made as light as possible to avoid risk to the existing thing. This structure is exposed and shown together with the wooden planes of the enclosures that configure the space character.

The idea of detail is evidenced in experience and it becomes relevant in the phase of the project in terms of use. This project is also about austerity in relation to the function and mechanisms of the different systems. The design of each movement is made to optimize the limited resource.
