"To conduct a large public building in the middle of Forde center requires consideration and adaptation to the environment. A potential building volume is raised from the site" |

"The potential building volume is cut in a 0 degrees angle to avoid casting shadows on the nearby buildings and urban spaces. The volume ensures maximum daylight and sunshine to the surrounding environment" |

Very neat concept. I wonder what happens to the snow though? My first impression is that this is a avalanche simulator. Any other ideas?
