The proposal focuses on the idea of renouncing the "autonomous object" that every public building tends to adopt by inertia, looking for a project that responds to the heterogeneous urban environment where the diversity of its uses is already implanted without losing its vocation of a new urban milestone. For that, a series of volumes, vertical and horizontal, are proposed, connected with each other, which assume or yield the necessary role in each point. This fragmented volume generates a continuous interior public space, which begins with a large entrance square and continues with a sequence of covered outdoor spaces and open courtyards that gives to the project the degree of privacy or publicity suitable for each of its uses.
