It provides a gathering space for the user with a structure that allows activities in public spaces. In fact, 'gathering' is the main purpose of this institution from many perspectives. It uses the facade of the building as an interface, both on the public plane and in a more private way. Thanks to the movable panels, the elements considered blinds were thought to allow all types of display functions.
