The main concept is to superimpose several non-material aspects of the area that defines the site, (digital traces, motion flows, sound waves), seeking an elusive form.

The building is divided into two elements: the lobby and the Data tower hall. The transition between those elements is not restrained; their segregation though is noticeable through the curvature of the exterior shell.

The external façade is matched on the inside with an helix shaped corridor that stretches across the floor, forming an atrium through which natural light penetrates the building.
