Often recurs consider architecture a social art of function adjustment that seeks an implicit idea of permanence and formal consistency always resulting in a demand for a creation that can endure the progress of time in an attitude of survival and maturation. However, on this intervention, the building’s integration was based on the awareness of the direct relationship with other buildings and in compliance with the surroundings. The building assumes its identity but is deliberately quiet and in continuity with the pre-existence.
