When we, architects, are asked to conceive a building that will stand for, lets say, 100 years, we can antecipate that a program like the one on the brief, most certainly would become obsolete. Yet, an investment of millions can´t become so rapidly obsolete as the nature of the the program that it will acommodate in the first yers of the building life. Either we built temporary constructions, or we must have the responsability to create the strategy for the building to adapt to the unforseen and uncertain future program needs. In this case the program changed several times in the first years of the building life, naturaly accomodating new uses, adapting itself to changing needs, providing a shelter that will maintain its utility through time.
