The project must have only one identifiable volume. The volume must appear to not be touching the ground. The volume must have only one floor with a maximum interior height of 5m. • The overall height of the building must not exceed 15m. • The length of the largest side in plan must not exceed 20m. • The Floating Volume must be recognizable as a compact mass and must be placed horizontal to the ground. • The shape of the Floating Volume must be neat and clean. • In the case the Floating Volume is shaped by slabs, there must be only two (floor and ceiling) and can be extruded curvilinear or orthogonal shapes. • Curvilinear slabs can only be so in plan with at least two different radii while maintaining continuity of tangency. Both slabs must have the same perimeter drawing and the façade system connecting them must be perpendicular to horizon line. • If the necessity arises to enclose the space below the Floating Volume it must be done so by the use of glass walls or other transparent materials that contributes to the “floating” effect. • The space under the Floating Volume must be either larger than two times the height of the volume or smaller than one fourth the height of the volume. • When the “floating” effect is achieved by the use of columns, the density of these must vary and be perceived as sporadic, some in sparse and some in dense manner. • The total number of columns must be greater than 5. x No more than three columns can be arranged in a line, either straight or curved. x Connections from structural elements must never be shown. Connection details to roof, supporting members, and floor must be embedded beyond the user’s sight. x The diameter of a column must never be more than Ø5cm for every 3m of height.

Several volumes must be spread over a field or site. All volumes must rest on the ground. Lateral faces on the volumes must be perpendicular to the horizon. The number of tossed volumes must be between 3 and 20. Volumes must be either all orthogonal or all orthogonal with trimmed edges. When using Orthogonal with Trimmed edges, the ground must be touched by vertical walls only. Therefore, one or two trims must be used affecting the top face, to create a gable roof or a single-slant roof. If gable or single-slant roof is used, the trim must start higher than the one third and lower than the two thirds of the volume’s height. All volumes used for the project should be seen as a cluster of familiar geometries and sizes, without an apparent hierarchy. The volume of the smallest tossed volume must not be smaller than ½ of the biggest one. The scheme must consider several entry and exit ways, for the whole project and for the individual volumes. If connected elements and spaces are needed between the volumes, they must be read as smaller secondary elements: sizes and materiality must contrast from the set of tossed volumes. The volumes’ base ratio must be between 1:1-3:2. The same ratio applies for each side and the height of the volume. The proportion between the built area and the site’s outdoor space must be between 1:3-1:2. The scheme must be developed on an area of maximum 3,000 square meters. The volumes may only touch on one point. The space between volumes must not be constant and no more than half of its shortest side, and no less than 1m. The volumes must not be composed or oriented in a symmetric way. No more than 3 volumes can have the same orientation. No volume’s interior can be divided in levels. A second level can be created in the continuous interior, only with the use of a mezzanine.

The volumes must read as solids. Perforations must be larger than 1/16 of the face they are perforating. Whenever an entryway or door is not disguised in the same material as the volume it will be considered a perforation. Perforations must be orthogonal. In the case of multiple perforations in a single face, these must not align on any side. There must not be any solid walls to the exterior glass to avoid interrupting the sense of transparency. Curvilinear perforations are not allowed.

The volumes must be read as solids. Every volume must have at least one entry and exit way. Whenever an entryway or door is not disguised in the same material as the volume it will be considered a perforation. Perforations must only be made from squared and rectangular shapes. The total perforated surface of each volume must not exceed the 40% of the total surface of its faces. Perforations of tossed volumes must be either “single perforations” or “random openings”. All volumes must have the same type of perforations. Single perforations can be as big as the total face of the volume. If this is the case, each perforation of each other face must not be bigger than ¼ of that face. Random openings must be similar in sizes and proportions. They cannot be smaller than 1/16 and larger than ¼ of the face they are on. The perforations of each face must not exceed the 40% of the face’s surface. The ratio of dimensions for each frame should not exceed 2:3 - 1:1. Floating slab is not allowed in this scheme.

The section of any particular volume must be orthogonal or have gable roofs. The gable roof timed edges should be between a 1/3 to 2/3 of the lateral and up faces in the volume.
