Having been
used over the years for a variety of purposes this
building is now once again the Ateneo (Athenaeum). The
volume-space is shaped by the variously straight and
curved lines of the bordering streets. The inflexion of
the first floor effects a play of volume-spaces, whereby
the corner of the building is retroussé. The
straight-edged rhythm of the indentations of the south
façade are offset by the plainer curved façade. |
