What I can see
All municipal services related to architecture are housed here. On the ground floor architectural, sculptural, painting and photography exhibitions are often hosted. The first floor is used for conferences, seminars and other events and the remaining five floors house planning and project completion services. The building is clad with limestone and glass on an aluminium frame. The red metal structures on both sides emphasise the building’s volumes.
What I can't see
The total area of the building covers 2,600 sq.m. In the interior, the metallic mezzanine, which is laid out with wood and the hive-formed roof stand out. The activities and events taking place in the building and the building itself are an indication of the development and importance of architecture that it has acquired in recent years in the city.
