This project has its origin in a friendly conversation with Peter Cook around 1997 about landscapes and sea carriers. It explores certain suburban conditions regarding public buildings. It appears like a large piece of a "stolen" lifted up territory. It is as well a simple composition: a body, a plain surface and a building on it. A series of activities (recreative or commercial) are kept down the surface in the main volume. The top of the building contains exhibition rooms. The form is a bit "blind" (a few, long gaps become windows) showing some heroic flavor: it is not difficult to imagine walking on the platform, trying to guess what happened with the world underneath. This building seems to be waiting for something.T
