The project draw it's inspiration from the frontal figures, simple and often stratified, defining the borders of the spatial and urban forms of this city, which are characterized by perspective rules that are just as elementary, and whose plastic solidity is expressed by the light colors of the stone, that is white like the snowy mountains surrounding the urban centers. It is also a reflection about the products invented and managed by these headquarters, finding the same whiteness of colors and shapes, the same rationality. Medicine may rise to the metaphor of Modern: it's rationality that expects to solve the world's problems, even through scientific research and serial production: it funds on breaking down, on scientific method, on production processes, on repetition: it thinks it can organize reality in a mechanistic way, which is seen as homogeneous and even.
