"We are all familiar with the phrase 'Form follows Function,' but in the 21st century, we challenge this notion, advocating for 'Form follows Experience.' We believe in designing not just for aesthetics or utility but for the holistic experience of residents, passersby, and the city itself.

It is common for architecture to work with preexistences, there is always a previous natural or urban environment, or a building of historical value on which to operate. However, in this case the preexistence is not significant for its symbolic or referential value but for its economic, energetic and material value necessary for its execution.

Then, with a particular playful intent, I tried to create a design that would make people unintentionally want to “Snap!” and take a photo of it. The spherical shape of the pillar rolls is r...
