The proposal provides for a solid prismatic mass in the city center. The prism serves as a landmark resonating in the midst of the public thoroughfare. The solid mass is accentuated along the vertical axis, pointing to the light and conveying a sort of skyward-looking symbolism. The mass itself acquires dimensions well exceeding the human scale and emphasizes its “otherworldly” quality: it symbolizes a solid, immutable world and stands as a contrapuntal antithesis to the never-ending movement within public space.
