The building comprises two levels of main use (25,000 m²) and two basement floors (40,000 m²) that host visitor and personnel parking facilities. The building is laid freely in the plot, with extensive variations of the building mass, forming a succession of open air spaces within its body and a vast network of open air and sheltered walkways. The structures composing the project were developed as scaled down urban units.
