This vault was created as a tribute both to the region’s rich ceramic-making tradition and to
the characteristic tile vault technique, historically widespread throughout the East of Spain.
This technique was disseminated by Valencian architect Rafael Guastavino both among
modernist architects, most notably Gaudi.
Special 3D programs were required to design the pantheon and the final solution was only
agreed on after 23 consecutive variations aiming for optimum aesthetic and structural
results. All the curves in the pantheon were produced using catenary profiles. These curves
are incredibly difficult to express mathematically and graphically to successfully optimise the
construction’s overall structural operation.
Close to 20,000 handmade ceramic tiles were used in construction following tests to
establish the type of clay, fuel and flame, texture, durability and aging tests. The size and
thickness, both dependent on the curves of the pantheon, and the necessary weight were
calculated for the three ceramic layers to compensate for the effect of wind suction.
The vault is comprised of four interlinked hyperbolic paraboloids and is very light yet
incredibly resistant because of its curves. Formwork was not required and only some metal
guides were used to ensure curvature was guaranteed at all times. Written by Vegas&Mileto

Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects design for the new CaoHeJing Guigu Creative
Headquarters in Shanghai has broken ground on Monday 18th September. Developed by
government backed CaoHeJing Hi-Tech Park, the project is aimed as CaoHeJing's platform
for innovation. The new Centre will support and nurture high-tech firms, and connect local
and overseas university graduates and enterprises and act as an accelerator for new
technology in China.
The project sits on the edge of Shanghai Caohejing Hi-Tech Park, a state level economic and
technological development zone covering an area of 14.5 km2 east of downtown Shanghai,
and home to some 1,200 domestic and overseas hi-tech companies.
The project composing of three volumes split by two external landscaped terraces that
contain shared meeting and support functions. The two upper volumes contain divisible
incubator studio space while the lower volume contains the main lobby, exhibition and event
space and a coffee bar.
The volumes are playfully staggered to create a combination of exposed and shaded external
spaces that can be utilised at different times of the year in Shanghai's variable weather
conditions. By doing this we create a direct connection to exterior green space for the
buildings occupants to use throughout the year. Written by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects

The primary gateway to Provence, the project will allow the airport to serve up to 12 million
passengers per year (excluding the MP2 terminal), future-proofing the development until
2046. The design restores the clarity of layout and expression in Fernand Pouillon's 1960s
original, while adding the 'missing piece' to the 1992 extension by Richard Rogers to tie the
entire ensemble of buildings together. Phase I of the project will create a new 'Coeur' -
literally, heart in French - that rationalises arrival and departure sequences within a single
building, creating an intuitive progression through the terminal for passengers.
The Coeur is a 22-metre-high glazed hall whose structural expression echoes that of the
Pouillon building, with its inverted beam roof, heroic 33-metre-deep span and a continuous
grid of glass skylights. Clad with stainless-steel, the skylights act like giant lanterns, bringing
natural light and air deep into the building. Large indoor trees bring a sense of calm to the
space, helping create a relaxing environment.
Marseille airport has grown extensively and incrementally over the last 60 years. Our goal is
to design a generous pavilion that reconnects all parts of the existing buildings, simplifying
the flow of people between them and creating a new welcoming gateway to the region. The
new terminal features a panoramic terrace overlooking the airport and the landscape beyond,
and is entirely top lit, capturing the bright Provencal sunlight and paying homage to the bold
architectural spirit of Fernand Pouillon's original building.
The movement of passengers from landside to airside and vice versa follows a simple linear
diagram. All departing passengers pass through security screening on the first floor,
overlooking the arrivals level below. Passing through a giant multimedia screen that spans
across the building, they are immediately transported into a large double-height space
animated by shops and restaurants, with tranquil seating areas surrounded by green trees.
From here, there is a clear view of the aircraft and landing bays, with the lounges and
panoramic terrace on upper levels. The Coeur floats above the existing 1990s building,
creating a common architectural expression for the airport.
The interfaces between the old and new buildings are clearly articulated, using a distinctive
portal frame throughout the building. The interior spaces flow seamlessly from one building
to the other, with a flexible layout that can be adapted for the existing buildings. Phase II will
add an additional pier with 12 aerobridges. To reduce the impact on day-to-day airport
operations, the modular structure will be predominantly prefabricated offsite, and erected on
a fast-track schedule. Written by Foster + Partners

PAGES, RECORDING A COMMON PART OF DAILY EVENTS
PAGES is a new museum where stories will be written. Stories of everyday life will be
conveyed via architecturally devised scripts which would link people to people, people to
museum, and museum to the park, just as how writing & pages have bridged together the
past, present, and future.
Contour of the design stems from existing patterns of the park. Pedestrian roads and bike
lanes intersect and disperse rhythmically, resembling hieroglyphic writing. Trails will be
flowing in and out of NMWW and the park, their boundary obscured and merged to conceive
flexible spaces, where people will casually and unceremoniously circulate around as fish
would within coral reefs. Daily life happening in the park has been transcribed into the
museum beneath, and the gesture symbolically exhibits the sense of presence of writing.

The National Museum of World Writing in Songdo pairs two conditions at odds with one
another. The first is the purpose of the Museum: exploring the ancient universality of human
communication in written form. The second is its site: the city of Songdo, built in the past
decade on a tabula rasa of reclaimed land. Our proposal for the Museum addresses these
opposites, creating a container for the study and exposition of writing as an ancient
manifestation of culture in a city whose culture is so new as to be undefined. In the process,
we are writing this new city’s culture through architecture.
Our strategy addresses these conditions by proposing a form evocative of the very thing
Songdo lacks: a history. But rather than employ stereotypical historic architectural forms, we
looked for the places where the fundamentals of writing and architecture overlap - solid to
void relationships, the trace of gesture on surface, the meaning in the depth of a mark,
penetration, or extrusion. And we expressed these on the tabula rasa of the site, cutting into
the surface with abstractions of these formal elements. The result is a museum one
discovers as if by accident, revealed in the earth as an archaeological site, its repeated
modular geometries evocative of the ancient Cuneiform writing system of marks cut into a
flat clay surface. Written by Hou de Sousa + Archotus

In the 21st Century, writings are instant: people write on Facebook wall while commuting,
send text message while dining and post short notes on Twitter while driving. Many people
happen to write without deep speculation, read without deliberating over the meaning
behind written words.
In designing Museum of World Writing, we wanted the museum to be the place that offers
the opportunity to speculate over the weight of the writing- origin, roots and beginning of the
writing: When we carefully decipher the texts, we begin to explore underlying contexts and
narratives in depth and encounter the moment of discovering.
We wanted to put an emphasis on this moment of gradual realization by creating the spatial
atmosphere of "exploring and discovering." To achieve this, subterranean courtyard
surrounded by prehistoric writings on soil walls acts as the center of gravity in museum's
spatial layout. Here, visitors encounter ancient writing on the cave wall, ancient engraved
writings on soil, and start to connect with the history, culture of other times and other worlds.
We believe this carved out space will also offers the opportunity to re-think about the history
of the site: Layered soil horizons of wall will reveal the re-claimed land of Songdo, creating
sharp contrast with high-rises skyline of modern Song-do in the background. Clustering
around this subterranean courtyard, 6 main exhibition space and special exhibition space will
be located. While these exhibition space is located below ground, easy access from lakeside
is provided with the gently sloped ramp. Written by Juhyunkim Architecture

Sungdaegol is an old residential area belonging to improvement area of residential
environment and a village community where energy independence and various activities
centered on youth take place. The "Pulbic Housing for the youth in Dongjak" utilizes the
existing parking lot in the Sungdaegol to solve the youth housing problems that have
emerged as a serious social problem in recent years. At the same time, this project is a new
architectural attempt to promote gradual and voluntary urban regeneration by expanding
parks, community spaces, and public parking lots.
Above the public parking lot, there are the apartment houses on the north side and are the
outdoor space such as parks, plazas, and playgrounds for local residents on the south side.
On the lower floors, programs for local communities, such as a town hall, a children's library,
and youth education facilities are planned. Also, an open, three-dimensional walkway
conncecting with "Village Road" and "Youth Road" is extended to the whole of the
Sungdaegol.
The "village road" and "youth road" crossing around the park naturally overcome the level
difference and connect Sungdaegol like a line of latitude and longitude. And roads induce
natural contact and communication through various programs between young people and
local resident.
Upper youth house consists of "youth terrace", "communal kitchen" and "youth shelter"
centering on "youth hall" which is a living room role. Rooms are arranged in a middle corridor
format to create a natural community between tenants. We hope that the pulbic housing
where young people and the local residents meet will be a meaningful space sharing new
vitality and hope. Written by FLO Architects + STUDIO JIT Architects

Cortex Park brings together four educational and innovation programs under one roof - connecting
students, researchers and staff with shared sports facilities and urban character. The result is a
building designed for the challenge of both mind and body - and to establish a close relation
between the building and its surroundings. Placing the sports facilities as a 'roof', spanning between
the four houses, we create a both physical and mental experience of sharing, as well as a new
hybrid between knowledge and movement.

Cortex Park brings together four educational and innovation programs under one roof -
connecting students, researchers and staff with shared sports facilities and urban character.
The result is a building designed for the challenge of both mind and body - and to establish a
close relation between the building and its surroundings. Placing the sports facilities as a 'roof',
spanning between the four houses, we create a both physical and mental experience of sharing,
as well as a new hybrid between knowledge and movement.
The four individual houses are separate volumes but connected in several ways: the urban space
floating into the building at the entrance level, the crisscrossing stairs spanning the triple-height
space atrium and the common area at the top floor. The sports facilities at the top floor hovers
over the four heavy houses and endows the building with a literally enlightening identity. When
darkness falls, it lit up to tell the story of an active environment for education, research and
movement - around the clock.
A large skylight draws daylight down on the common square where a number of social and
administrative functions are located as center points in the central meeting space of the building.
Standing on the square looking up, the crisscrossing stairs experienced as an additional spatial
layer in building. Each of the individual houses in the building have their own facade expression in
graphic concrete, contrasting the lightness of the stairs. Written by ADEPT

Lee Yongmin, senior executive of SUN+PARTNERS, received B.S. degree and M.S. degree in architecture, Ajou University. He worked at seoul
architecs & engineers office. Also he has been an invited artist of Korean Association of architects and Design Faculties and an adjunct
professor of architecture at Chungbuk National University. He is an member of KIA and a director of FLEI.
SUN+PARTNERS has been carrying out various design works for education and research facilities and sports leisure facilities for 27 years since
its establishment in 1991. The company has been selected from the government and public institutions for several times as a company with
superior quality of products based on design, architecture and follow-up management; "Haneul Highschool" and "Hana Highschool" were
awarded the Excellence Prize of the Excellent Facilities School of the Ministry of Education. SUN+PARTNERS is a specialized architectural
design office leading the architectural culture.
With the motto of "Building begins with building the sun(line in Korean)" which is the meaning of the company name, company has been
leading the design, business management and research services, and has proposed creative solutions based on future-oriented thinking and
reasonable and creative architectural will as a specialized architectural design office. It has been recognized as a architecural design office with

the overseas training and raise a common consciousness. In particular, employees are invited to visit the overseas educational facility tour of
FLEI to experience advanced educational facilities.
SUN + PARTNERS has been working on a number of projects based on our specialized architectural experience since 2014. Let's take a look at
the footsteps of SUN + PARTNERS that are making a foothold for a new leap forward.

1. It’s almost 30 years since you opened your office and if there is an architectural language that SUN+PARTNERS Architects &
Engineer (hereinafter referred to as SUN+PARTNERS) is pursuing in various construction businesses, what is that?
SUN+PARTNERS, established in 1991 is a midsize design office equipped with education research facility and sports leisure as well as
cultural facilities for 27 years. In the past we performed the golf related facility project and studied the facilities of Japan and Europe
intensively through bench marking and have been doing education research and sports leisure design as main business.
For education research facility, we are designing all buildings in the curriculum and we have lots of experiences from planning to
design and business management and also asking continuously “What is a school of descent characteristic?”
For sports leisure facility, starting the design for the club house of Jeju La Henne CC and Golftel, we have grown as the specialized
design company for golf and leisure facility and also we completed overseas design work such as Beijing Baekjakwon Golf Club and
Golf Resort in Seokdo, China successfully. A design that places the most importance on rationality and functionality based on sufficient
understanding for building, brings the results that gives a comfort and boost to users who are using that space by the economical and
efficient facility operation after completion of construction. This leads to the business success of owner and the trust of designer which
is the belief of SUN+PARTNERS.
2. How do you make an initial concept? What is the most important factor?
First, the optimized design to availability of space, function and site is the most important. As domestic design culture has not yet
reached to change the internal space significantly compared with the appearance, it is needed to do design that attracts the optimal
and fresh sense of space from the original function of each building. To do so, it is needed to review the requirement of user and set the
priority by studying the site in the beginning of architectural design. Every project has a different priority.
4. There are various kinds of project but especially the education facility attracts me. When designing the education facility, what
approach method do you select and what is the strong points?
Education facility is the infrastructure which is the initial basis of city or architecture and which is the facility for students as well as used
for local residents in the aspect of lifelong education. Three elements considered meaningful in school building are the space of
education, environment of user and local factors. In detail, depending on which element is reflected, the type of school, space
configuration, layout and elevation design are all changed. Thus we are placing the primary emphasis on making an education space
that creativity is required based on design experience and understanding of curriculum and the secondary emphasis on interchange
with local community.
5. Despite of various education facilities, depending on user, the design direction seems to be changed such as the major color,
elevation design, space configuration etc. Are there differentiated elements? How do you intend to show such elements?
The education facilities we are designing have various differentiated requirements depending on age and physical condition from kids
for kindergarten to adults and the objective of establishment of each school. However, all education spaces have essential features in
common as a space for growth and exchange. For growth space, when we design an elementary school, we look at it from the view
point of elementary school student and when we design a research center, we are performing the design looking at it from the view
point of researcher. We are moving to seek the delicate contact point and we are sure that in such process, we can find the
differentiated elements. We intend to realize the building considering the convenience of user, variability to respond in the age of
diversity and feasibility considering the maintenance, not the building considering only aesthetic elements and construction costs of
education facility and we are also making our efforts to complete the building with the philosophy of architect after collecting the
opinions.
88
6. We heard that you have worked lots of project in many areas. What is the most favorite work and what is the reason?
It’s Incheon Haneul Highschool which is Independent Private High School, completed in 2012 through short design period since we
were selected in the design competition in 2009. The biggest challenge of the plan as boarding high school is inserting the
communication space we are thinking into the site. We intended to provide students with a space to exchange in the flow connecting to
education space and living space. The flow created in the space of boarding school, the event occurred in the contingency of that flow,
and the space available to accept such events and the space available to learn from nature will be included in a broad sense. So to
speak, based on sufficient understanding of curriculum and active recognition of surrounding environment, we tried to create a fusion
space without boundary that contains the function of learning space as well as various desires and behaviors of students comfortably.
The architectural evaluation for this facility has a good reputation is well-known to everybody as the representative advanced case of
school facility till now since the completion in 2012. I’d like to place the meaning on successful realization of new challenge of school
building through school operation and trials and errors.
In particular, for HANA Highschool, the architecture club was organized in the student club community and student reporter and
architecture club students visited our office to have an interview for school magazine. The school building touched the students who are
using it and made students interested in architecture and create a club to study architecture and gave the positive effects to the
personality of students. We think that this is the biggest praise that architect who designed the education facility can receive.
7. On the contrary, what is the regretful work? And what is the reason?
I’d like to memorize it as a project that we need to think over the level of completion and passion for the design rather than regret.
For Agricultural Technology Center, we devoted ourselves to configuration aesthetics based on symbolism but failed to win. For the
school building of Korea National University of Arts in Seoul, I feel regret as the design was changed due to external requirements other
than the original purpose. In addition, there are several overseas projects like TAKAITAI Lake Land in Philippines, Greenpia Golf and
Resort in Sakhalin that failed to realize just before construction step according to the situation of each country. I feel regret.
8. Design Office thinks of architectural design first but needs other management administration. Is there any special method of
SUN+PARTNERS?
SUN+PARTNERS is located at the contact point of atelier office and large-sized design office and exposed to its strong points and weak
points as it is. But we are pursuing the innovation of design by fast decision making around our representative and person-centered
aggressive investment and we are securing the diversity of architecture based on systematic design system.
We are growing every year and we have been conducting the investment for the future, overseas training and visiting the advanced
cases, workshop etc. We are separating the privacy and business of employees thoroughly to increase the concentration and reduce
the cost and also we are reducing the expectation cost by selection and concentration for the specialized facility use.
9. Your office has performed overseas workshop and in-company competition, seminar and what is the purpose of various internal
activities and what advantages you got through this?
SUN + PARTNERS is holding seminars with various themes by invitation of specialists in every sector of society every two months. In
addition, we have a forum with executives and working staffs of the company for the selected topic irregularly. Through seminar, the
members of company are talking about common topic together and sometime sharing the project of other department to solve
problems together. In design field, the personal capability of members is important but the mutual understanding and cooperation are
needed to secure the uniformity of design through communication of organization. The overseas architecture tour performed every
year becomes the fifth anniversary this year which is overseas workshop participated by all employees. Through this workshop, we can
identify the interest of our members and experience advanced overseas architecture and get the common theme consciousness and
goal and above all, this event becomes a foundation for the architectural development of SUN+PARTNERS for the future.
10. When construction business is not good like recent times, what preparation do you think are needed as architect as well as a
representative of company?
Architecture Design Office is now competing unlimitedly as exposed to various terminology and changes, compared with the past and
reflects the current situation of the age. We have to supplement and improve the technical development and individual creativity
mutually instead of conflict, in order to draw new change. And also we need to play the role of advance guard to realize the new society
that modern architects have struggled intensely as well as pay attention to the function of coordinator who bridges the cultural gap
between members of society that has been gradually polarized. Accordingly, all members of SUN+PARTNERS are making their efforts
to pursue newness and at the same time suggest optimal solutions to the ones who need our service related to architecture, rather
than forcing our opinion. The midsized office has a strong point to experience general architectural business in short time compared
with large-sized office while the opportunity to experience the organized joint design or large-scale design is given less. So, it is very
important to take the first step into the society considering personal characteristics and preference.

A school that realizes "dreams"
A school that we are thinking is the school that realizes the creativity of students and finds its
'dream' and evolve by itself in the new environment as well as education by education. The
school is located in the place surrounded by Mt.Baekun and greenbelt. The vital space of the
site reminded us of the place of exchange between 'teacher and student', 'student and
student' and 'human and nature'. Such spaces provide an education for students making a
communication and finding themselves.
The biggest thing to do was inserting a space of communication to the site. In the flow
connecting an education space, medium space and living space, we intended to provide
users with a space to exchange.
New education environment does not mean providing facilities and equipment only. The flow
created in the space of school, the event occurred in the contingency of that flow, and the
space available to accept such events and the space available to learn from nature will be
included in a broad sense because the most important education may be inside there.
We considered the plan to minimize the damage of green belt by using the layout and mass
type to minimize the transformation of the existing natural landscape and by adapting to the
existing terrain surface.
We arranged the special teacher unit and management area according to the type of site
which is long to the north and south and located the general teacher unit, club member unit,
gym, cafeteria, dormitory in the order to increase the efficiency of facility use. In addition, we
planned various outside spaces between buildings to meet nature actively.
The large atrtium, ceiling and planting materials were planned to make a light and wind
come into the inside deeply and make a rest area of the soft and vital space for teacher. We
hope that various activities of students will be done in the specialized inside space. Written by

The planned site is surrounded by natural landscape such as neighboring park and national
park. According to the analysis of site level, the terrain has a sharp slope with 22m level
difference to vertical direction and 10m level difference to horizontal direction in parallel with
a road.
We intended to impose order to the sloping terrain and the implementation site. We set the
central axis considering the accessibility and arranged the access yard, playground, teacher
unit, cafeteria and dormitory by area. Around the access yard, the education facility was
arranged on the left and the concert hall on the right so that the education facility and the
open facility are divided naturally. General curriculum unit was arranged in front and the
dormitory on the top floor to make a natural zoning according to the use time. In the middle
space between these two buildings, a cafeteria and gym were arranged to make an easy
access to dormitory and classroom.
The concert hall is an important facility seen from outside which allows the access from the
access yard and event and culture yard. In the access yard, the movement line of vehicles and
pedestrians was completely divided and the lower part of playground was planned as a
parking lot of same level with access yard and this parking lot is connected with underground
parking lot of general curriculum unit to avoid the inconvenience of user's movement.
The outdoor space created naturally according to the terrain has the function of rest area for
students and ecological environment. The space with various themes is a green space with
shadows which is a rest area for students. In particular, the roof-top deck plaza of concert
hall is made to be used as a space available for various events and cultural activities.
The main street connecting from playground to dormitory was planned to be located toward
south for sunlight considering students who are staying in the school for 24 hours. This axis
of moving line is a circulating movement line system with the walking road connected to the
whole campus which is connected to various outside spaces and available to access to
dormitory by vehicle against emergencies. Written by SUN+PARTNERS Architects & Engineers

School as “Ort”
Art is a skill desired to express something universal through subjective object and at the
same time intellectual activity. Artists intend to intuit and express something universal and
persuade appreciators to be intuited.
The study intends to identify the truth through realistic fact while the art creates the
independent world in the imagination of artists and embodies the limited situation in the
realistic world and is re-organized by the view of art of artist. The artist as a producer of
meaning trains his/her own five senses and intelligence in the open status all the times.
According to the establishment of self and development of society, the expression pattern
has diversified and the direction of abstract painting has widened and the modern art
became more complicated and diverse. Thus the traditional education space which has a
clear function and purpose became difficult to accept the change of art and its diversity.
Thus, the model of Art School we suggest is the 'Ort' that has a flexible boundary available to
react the change of daily life sensitively and reply with creator and respond the requirement
of present and future. To do this, it has the concept of 'flexible boundary', 'intended margin of
space', and 'the scenery of daily life'. Written by SUN+PARTNERS Architects & Engineers

[Design Concept]
Around the special classroom unit in the center, the teacher unit is located on the left and the
playground and gym on the right and the 8-storied dormitory in the rear side. To build Daegu
International High School that helps students grow rightly and cultivates the excellent
talented people at the site surrounded with rich forests and rivers, we began to make this
design with the belief that the landscape of mountains and rivers help poetic emotion of
people to create a good work.
[Zoning Concept]
First, create a pleasant educational environment
The main rooms are arranged to the south to maximize the natural lighting and a multi-
purpose auditorium is planned to be built near the road so that residents can use it
conveniently.
Second, the zoning of the homebase that contains the program specificity.
The teacher unit around home base is linked with learning support and the curriculum
classroom is separated to prepare for the future education environment and an Artrium is
added to make an eco-friendly space.
Third, zoning containing the characteristics of boarding-type educational facilities.
The finger type layout of facility attracting the neighboring rivers and nature provides a rest
and community space and the front yard of dormitory 'Haedelim yard' and global deck are
spread as an independent living space to remove the boredom of dormitory life. Written by

Both school and composite facility considered an easy access to park and playground and the
approach of residents using the slope on the west roadside. In addition, we made a full
preparation for the independent operation of facility by separating the movement line of
pedestrian and vehicle entry clearly.
Around the latus rectum axis connecting the park, we placed an open yard for residents at
the lower level and a student yard on the same level as of playground to secure the
independence of outside space
Around Edu ground, the composite facility on the left can be accessed easily at the low level
of west road and see the park through the yard of day care center and courtyard type Artrium.
The school on the right can be accessed easily to playground and induces the convenient use
to composite facility through a path connecting from the gym. Written by SUN+PARTNERS Architects

With the prerequisite of recycling of some facilities, we had a task to build a new facility in
harmony with the existing system and had to establish a plan to put city and nature together
through two sites. Through analysis of relation of each program, we established a reasonable
master plan considering the surrounding situation, environment and the harmony of existing
building and new building.
On the plan site 1, we considered the reasonable arrangement of facility by the flow
between the axis of existing building and the boundary axis of site. In addition, on the plan
site 2, the outdoor driving test ground and seed business group linked with agricultural
machine verification center were arranged to complete the specialized support institution for
the advancement of agricultural industry.
Around the sharing plaza focused by main access road and canopy, the connectivity of the
building connecting to analysis test center and agricultural machine verification center from

We intend to contribute to the public use by arranging the front plaza that connects each
facility, considering the urban context of master plan. The view deck of central part of mass
has a frontality and public property through the role of view core door. The mass on the lower
floor became a terrace outdoor space that adapts to the terrain so that visitors can access
easily.
The open community lounge by the unit of 4 floors was arranged facing to the core as the
space of communication such as resting and conference. In addition, this place has the
function of natural ventilation, inflow of natural light, adjustment of temperature and
humidity due to solar chimney and waterfall plan to increase the comfort of business
environment. In addition, through this place, all facilities are connected in three dimensions
to maximize the availability. Written by SUN+PARTNERS Architects & Engineers
