-The original facade projected in 1957 was covered with marcolite blades & Blue Venetian mosaics (Facades north & South)who was replaced with fabric material and glass on 1972, some years later was reinforced into their foundations but was damaged on 79 & 85's earthquakes, on 1987 was strongly reinforced with a new structure who cover the old one, but still some deformations on their uprightness, rotated to the north 1.5 degrees some years, receive a new adjustment of foundation on 2003 to recover their uprightness, since 2008 lost their verticality again.
