characterize the spaces adjacent.
- put in direct relation to and perception of the city and the new 'house of music' through
the definition of public open space, created by the shape of the canyon that contains
the various functions provided extending from west to east as the backbone of the entire
composition space.
- to transform the tpmc for a real urban magnet that can arise as a powerful icon, able to
attract flows of people able to generate a creative context and thus to become the architectural
