The commission focused on the rehabilitation of an old kiln that was part of a tannery, located on the grounds of current Belvis Park. It was to design a cultural facility with a very open program; the intervention sought to value a historic building providing multifunctional space for exhibitions, meetings, concert halls, film projections, etc. Also the toilets were to serve the park.
