The proposal for the New Harbor Service building by IaN+ aims to define a simple and severe architecture. The project’s construction scheme reflects eastern philosophy; its clean aesthetic and unadorned simplicity, where structure turns into a decorative system clearly defining space. The grandeur of the complex will become the new symbol of the city and at the same time, these openings as large telescopes, frame the view from the city towards the sea and the infinite. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The architecture loses its stability, its firmness, the city and the landscape disperse and resolve on the core surface. The building, despite the apparent compactness, is divided into 4 main towers. A first subdivision was made by distinguishing governmental functions and autonomous, and those closely connected to the terminal, which will occupy three connected units. Each has specific features, depending on the intended use. In each tower there is a central core of emergency stairs, around this nucleus are distributed various functions. By the stairs we find the services for employees and room for the press, located in a central position does not require direct light.
