Different case studies-cities has been selected to construct there a building with a clear vertical development.
The requirements were to focus on the local characteristics that have no connection with the spatial ones. Instead of attaching importance to the topograpgy, the boundaries, the axes or the views of the place, the concentration was on the climatic characteristics, the socio-economic structure or the generalized forms of construction.
It is about an effort of designing a Self-Sufficient Building emerging from conditions that apply to the logic of the city as a whole.
