“A forecourt carved into the facade, two elevator shafts extending through the building to the roof, a monumental doorway, a 32m x 24m sliding glass and metal screen that can close the forecourt at will—the institution is explicitly symbolized here. The building is constructed of stainless steel and aluminum, and deliberately remains highly visible.” (Direction de l'Action Sociale, PSS-archi)
