Formally, the new building is delimited by three virtual axes: the north-south axis, the projection of the proposal with La Mitad del Mundo City and the combination of these axes in 47 degrees, resulting from the sum or displacement of maximum declination north (23.5 degrees) and maximum declination south (23.5 degrees) of the sun in relation to the equator. The volume is a massive piece by contrast rises and is projected as a metaphor of freedom. The building has been designed as a sculptural connotation to surprise and show a different image depending on from where it is appreciated.
