The building’s design was conditioned by the requirement of adding together basic modules consisting of recycled containers measuring 2.40m x 12.20m. Obviously this was the project’s main challenge: the monotony created by systematic repetition of a rigid system of aggregation. Corrections were made to solve this problem, principally by working with up to four different types of rooms, totally different in spite of their having been constructed with the same basic container.
