Kyung Min Koh:
Kyung Min focused heavily on the publicity and the relation the building has on it following the first few floors. One of his design was not covering the exterior with walls to hide to interior contrast to its neighbouring buildings. This was so to open up the building with a more public and approachable appearance. To further publicise the building, he decided the first three floors to be for the public. To compliment, after third floor, the space was made more private, with the exterior pattern design reflecting this intention. The design was that the openings in the walls would gradually grow larger as the it ascends so that the space would be less exposed from the public below outside however while the exposure from the natural sunlight would be great. One of the noticeable feature was the rock climbing wall that begins from the ground floor level to the top of the building with different patterns of challenge as you climb to resonate the purposed designs of each separate floor of different function and form while with it, creating an even flow of space.
Mirashini Chandra Mohan:
Mirashini's building's most interesting component was the open space atrium on the top floor that was surrounded and wrapped around a weaving wall inspired by two existing buildings, Chanel Mobile Art Pavilion and Martin Luther Church. Light was one of the main play on her building particularly the top floor. Through the weaving wall, she made disguising windows with different levels of light intensity and the pattern of poked holes exposing sunlight, creating a sense of serenity. Through the open atrium roof, effective use of sunlight and its level of exposure became the focal point and the space of the building.
