Throughout this project, our focus shifted toward non-programmed spaces—such as patios, porticos, and circulation areas. The visitor's journey is organized through a portico: a covered yet exterior space.
This single-height portico is punctuated by double-height expansions that integrate enclosed volumes. These "unprogrammed" spaces transcend their primary function as mere circulation; they extend the interior experience and evolve into places of sociability, chance encounters, and human density.
