• PLINTH AND THINNAI SPACE

COMBINE
• COMMUNITY SPACES WIRH SUSTAINABLITY FUNCTIONS

• PODIUM PARKING TO ADAPT TO FLOODING AND INUNDATION

ADAPT
• INTENSIVE WATER COLLECT-STORE-RELEASE SYSTEM

• TURNING UNBUILT AREA INTO A “SPONGE” LANDSCAPE

• STAGGERING FLOOR PLATES FOR MUTUAL SHADING, RAIN PROTECTION
MODIFY • BUILDING PROFILE TO ALLOW MAXIMUM VIEW

• ROOFS, PODIUM TOPS AND EXTENDING FLOOR PLATES INTO LANDSCAPES FOR INTERACTIVE/ RELAXING ACTIVITIES
• DETENTION TANKS AS MINI GALLERY SPACES IN LANDSCAPE
PUT TO
ANOTHER USE • GREEN ROOF TOP FOR COMMUNITY GARDENING/ CAFE

• NON POROUS LANDSCAPE MATERIAL

• HUGE WEST/ SOUTH OPENINGS
