Work in collaboration with Uribe & Schwarzkopf. Lepppanen + Anker Arquitectura designed the facade and volumetric massing concept for the building. GAIA is inspired by the poetics of the creation of forms through urban influences. Sculptural techniques are used as a mechanism to combine urban fabric and architecture. The digital parametric iterative process, a tool used during the development of the design, allows multiple solutions to predetermined problems. The facade element of the building incorporates this synergy by combining existing and new elements through movement to produce a game of light and shadow in the environment. In the search for the spatial richness of the façade strategic corners of the building were eliminated, and double and triple height spaces were created with panoramic visual connections to the entire city.
