In Public Interior as Idea and Project, Mark Pimlott defines the Palace as a symbolic monument intended to represent the power and values of a community. Through the staging of circulation, plays of visibility, and the sequence of spaces, the palace influences behaviors and transforms visitors into participants in a shared scene

The Palace is an autonomous object that celebrates its community through its program, embedded within a microcosm. It is a democratic and porous monument that encourages social interactions and extends the public realm, with spaces that gradually reveal themselves, creating a sense of mystery.
