About the artwork

The monumental sculpture is essentially a small (or not) architectural form. The architecture also has features of sculpture, although it focuses on functionality in use. This work is a sculpture, although it flirts with the architecture functionality: minimalist design with architectural elements, the possibility to get through the door, to climb the stairs, look out the window.
