Artificial lighting was available integrated as vertical cracks in the columns of the circulations and woven horizontally in the false ceiling of the waiting rooms. In the circulation, the lines of light beams and columns on floors and ceilings create a series of frames that accentuate lighting the way, in the waiting rooms, the reflection of the beam lines is dissolved outside blending with the sky and planes. The porches were designed as asymmetric umbrella whose columns give meaning and rhythm to traffic and diffuse reflections in lower faces capture the surrounding landscape.
