Concept

The concept begins at the scale of the site: an edge from the immediate neighbors was chosen as the reference dimension. This edge defined the radius of a golden-ratio circle that, once “exploded” across the context, generated a network of geometries. These geometrical constructions dictated the shapes and arrangement of the volumes in plan.
