Bicentennial Towers
. ECOLOGICAL TOWER
Symbol of fragility and strength, the “ovo ecológico” building is constructed as the promise that a birth imprints.
As image and likeness of the vital relations that organize the cosmos, the most economical way to resist and relate with the happenings has been chosen, in which it will be necessary to re-encounter and protect life.
. TECHNOLOGICAL TOWER
A structural network of new alloys takes on the commitment of withstanding and combining the internal relations. Just as its mesh physiognomy allows disturbing visuals.
The building stands as a structural and technological manifest in a world on the brink of consuming the utopia of material and communication. It shall be Babel without punishment.
