Form is the elegant image of a well-structured space. Rectilinear shapes are easily referenced by the human eye. Therefore, plan rectangular geometries and, when use and climate permit, transparent volumes.

Form expresses content. On Roche sites, this means a regular structure with clear, uncluttered internal organization that avoids extravagance.

Roche buildings share certain formal attributes: rationality, rectangular geometries, clear lines, lack of ornamentation, evident positioning of entrance and, above all, a timeless appearance.

- Form should relate to the interior organization, reflecting the building’s function.
- Use rectilinear forms, as they are easily referenced by the human eye.
