Two sloping roofs suggest a rugged landscape, while the dark glass curtain wall recalls a cascading waterfall. The podium’s sweeping lines resemble outstretched wings or a surge of water, reinforcing the natural theme.A front plaza forms an urban interface, improving access and interaction with the city.
