Building a stack means juxtapose some elements to create a set where the volume become weight through the force of gravity. There are no rules or models for a correct realization of a stack that don't have as a basic element its own weight and the downward direction. Plus: a stack isn't made with a binding agent; every component takes and gives the weight to another one, establishing the balance. The whole, aside its dimensions, is the cohesion of force and stability and its realization is measured by effort and precision. This is the idea the project want to pursue: is not a beautiful plan for a ugly place, but the process that has to be done through the work of a city, is the outcome of the discipline. Its simplicity is apathetic to beauty, it never grows old.
