This is not just because of its </div><div>basic function as a separator of spaces but because of the possibilities </div><div>that it has to offer. Indeed, it is the envelope together with the idea of </div><div>porosity that gives the possibility of building social relationships and </div><div>allowing movement through the urban fabric. Movement, together </div><div>with the envelope is the design’s main ingredient. As a consequence, </div><div>working together with the idea of porosity, this design tries to establish </div><div>a strong relationship, both on building and block scale. On a building </div><div>scale, certain effects such as elevating the building, together with the </div><div>relationship between transparency and porosity, call for a social </div><div>architecture. At the same time, it is the integration of movement within </div><div>the envelope that allows these same opportunities.
