The proposal that is presented is not born from an architectural concept as such, but is the result of the approach of 3 main objectives:

Identity
The building is conceived as an iconic element with a representative identity due to the use it houses. It aims to be a benchmark as an institutional building and at the same time present a friendly image with a scale adapted to the place where it is located.

Timber
“The largest wooden building in Spain”. It is about betting that the building is a national reference in the use of wood as a sustainable material when designing the structure of the building. It would therefore be the largest wooden building in the country in square meters of surface area.

Agenda 2030
The development of the project seeks to follow the objectives of the UN 2030 Agenda. The strategy is closely linked to 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The objectives are present from the very essence of the use of the building, which is linked to innovation and economic growth, the construction proposal is committed to local industry, respect for the environment and its conservation, and the use of strategies to reduce energy consumption , both in the extraction and production of materials and in the use of the building during its life cycle.
