This facility is located in a zone of large free areas of urban vocation. The ensemble formed by the different facilities and their gardens accepts this vocation, generating its own autonomous formal and functional references. A place between the countryside and the city, located at a high altitude that dominates the urban landscape and opens its views over Montjuïc and the coast.

The building is broken down into bodies, facilitating its settlement on the sloping topography by taking advantage of the difference in level between Diagonal Avenue and the gardens of the Melina Tower. The building is divided into three bodies separated by two interior streets that allow visual communication between the Diagonal and the gardens, while providing the rooms with natural light. In addition to these streets that divide the complex into longitudinal bands, there is a hall, a foyer and transversal elements such as the two streets on the garden level that lead to independent and complementary accesses.

The ensemble is configured not so much as autonomous functional elements, but as a social system of interlinked pieces that are shaped like a mini-city.
