LIGHT AS A BUILDING MATERIAL
Light, an immaterial element by antonomasia, becomes a potent means, to excavate, shape and give strength to a building. "Sculpt with light", or design favoring interaction between the building and the environment around, and, in a certain sense, use it as a real and proper building material: Green Hotel. The green in the tropical colored shades, is configured as a facade element, mainly as a filter between the external environment and the big glasses that delimit the building.
