The Dance Council School rises in the site of the Former Bus Station. In order to build up the hierarchy of the city, the Project had to become a local landmark. OUT OF LEGENDS AND MEMORIES Behind are those warm welcomes and bitter goodbyes that took place at The Old Bus Station. Thousands of anecdotes told by travellers and adventurers are still floating in the air like zealous keepers of unforgettable memories. THE HEIR Equipped with a daring architecture full of movement, The Dance Council School will now become a new landmark and key spot of the city, which added to the tension and forces ruling there, makes this architectural work unique and exceptional. THE BUILDING The Dance Council School rises above its surroundings, but conveys a sense of reverence for the inner part of the pedestrian precinct by offering it its facade as a sign of recognition of the preexisting premises. Passers-by are lured into this turned building, which aims at celebrating the heart of the precinct inviting people to find shelter under its canopy. The north facade offers a perforated surface which mingles its lines and openings with the confusing tensions taking place in such a spot. Connecting the neighbouring building and the Dance School is a key junction that gives visual support to the place. The entrance canopy and the projecting roof of a stratified east facade stand out together with the large turned window reflecting the environment which lessens the profound impact this new design has on the surroundings.
