Introduction

First Task is to find an approach to the ambivalence of the security and transparency issues in a bank building. My proposal is a decorated block as the traditional bank typology that is engaged and transformed by it's ornament from the inside outward. According to this diagram i will develope a technique of articulation and volumetric forming to establish new relationships with the urban surrounding and the inside spaces of the building.
Diagram: ornament engaging the block, pop-up effect to celebrate opening of the case

Precedents: aesthetic ambitions, next step: volumetric ornament
