the five levels of the building are each assigned their own river. places and landscapes, songs and poems endow the rivers with visible form. anonymity adieu: each workplaces takes on its own character, defined by an imaginary river and the tinted light donated by the coloured stripes. the walls are covered with a silvery web, its graphic forms reflecting the ripples, whirls and splashes of water patterned by currents, wind and rain.
