这是由MUTUO设计的Galeria Leon。该项目从一开始就预算有限，因此建筑师极力减少预算。为此，建筑师考虑到利用立面作为图象可视化，利用门窗的模块化网格形成低分辨率的“像素”，表达地址号码，其他地方则通过其他方式以较高像素呈现。非常规的钢构屋顶覆盖了建筑正立面的外廊，以满足当地设计指引要求和当地极端的气候，同时为立面提供一个有趣的设计元素。

It was clear from the beginning of the project that the budget was limited and that we had to make more with less.With this in mind we thought about using the façade as a graphic display. The way to accomplish this was to write the address numbers on it using the grid of the window and door grid modules as low resolution 'pixels' to become part of the numbers. The rest of the numbers would be drawn at a higher resolution via different strategies.

Unconventional steel canopies over the access door and the window on the front façade would comply with the district's design guidelines and provide shade –important in this extreme weather– while providing an interesting design element to the façade.The canopies complete the top part of the first two address numbers.The use of rebar on the canopies was both practical and conceptually interesting. The idea is using a construction element that is always buried in concrete in a way in which it makes the main element on the façade: The steel canopies.

The bottom part of the first two numbers is completed by striping paint off the façade exposing the masonry that makes the walls of the building and the third number completes with decals on glass and steel plates attached to the wall.The better defined numbers with the less defined window and door 'pixels' create an interesting contrasting graphic display –low resolution and high resolution– that is understandable and yet not entirely demarcated. The doors and window elements are part of the graphics, and the graphics are part of the building.
