It is intended that the slate roof that was born from the soil in the testing of the U loops through all parts of the building. This cover becomes the distinctive and unique building. Sheltered under the roof of the rooms are arranged as shown in the front. The structural and functional template generates all fronts. The closure of this grid is empty and full of texture, transparency and opacity, which emphasize the independence of grid structure and skin facade, extending COATING skin throughout the body of the building.
