The PLI, a contemporary building with multiple facets, connects the two former arsenals of the canton of Valais, which were transformed into the cantonal media center.

Its triangular windows sometimes reflect the landscape, sometimes the sky, according to a skilled mirror game. Thus, a multitude of luminous triangle animates the space in a burst of light that evokes the crystals of the stones glimmering in the sun.
