Requirements for the building included enough space for 250 employees and a covered parking lot for 50 vehicles. Siza's proposed design was a cylindrical inclined building with a cylindrical hole through the center. A circulation system with elevators, stairs and ramps inside and outside the office spaces was designed to create a " complex promenade architecturale"[1] . Siza's entry was not selected. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, design development drawings and competition drawings. Textual materials include competiton documentation. Of particular interest in this project series are the first computer drawings and coordinates used by Siza' office. [1] : Peter Testa "Álvaro Siza, " Birkhäuser Verlag, 1996.
