The geometry of the “U”-shaped building is an attempt to evoke the buildings with courtyards of Spanish culture, in which everything revolves around one function, in this case the agricultural machinery products of John Deere. It is closed to the outside  to the city and the road  showing its more public facade, and suggests movement with its roof and non-orthogonal facade plans. As regards the U shape (outside-inside) there are also three levels of approximation: a distant one, that of the city, another intermediate one, that of the movement of vehicles, and a third level (the one closest to the building) which is framed by the geometry of the paving and the emerging volumetrics of the structure itself.

La geometría del edificio en forma de “U” quiere evocar los edificios-patio de la cultura española, en los que todo gira en torno a una función, en este caso a los productos de maquinaria agrícola de John Deere. Se cierra al exterior a la ciudad y la carretera mostrando su fachada más pública, y sugiere movimiento con su cubierta y planos de fachada no ortogonales. En relación con la forma de U (exterior-interior) también se dan tres niveles de aproximación: uno lejano, el del la ciudad, otro intermedio, el de la circulación de vehículos, y un tercer nivel (el más inmediato al edificio) que queda enmarcado por la geometría de los pavimentos y por la propia volumetría emergente de la edificación.
