该方案产生高度功能方面的仓库，让车辆路径和转弯半径雕刻它的质量，并产生一个体积最大化的大小，而不失去效率。办公区承认不间断流的重要性。

The scheme yields to the highly functional aspect of the warehouse by letting the vehicle path and turning radii carve its mass and produce a volume that maximizes size without losing efficiency. The office block acknowledges the importance of uninterrupted flow & sits atop the warehouse cantilevering above the access and creating a grand gate for the ubiquitous delivery truck.

它是由三个块组成的堆叠，以表示敬意以下的存储功能。这座建筑意味着移动和监视。

It is composed of three blocks stacked to pay homage to the storage function below. The building implies motion and surveillance.

体积移动表示方向清晰，窗户边缘呈锥形表示速度，三重柱支撑着管理音量向不同方向倾斜，支撑着结构，并在下面定义了一条通道，引导和保护行人不受卡车源源不断的流动。

The volumes shift indicating a clear direction, the windows edges taper to suggest speed, and the triple height columns propping up the management volume slant in different directions bracing the structure and defining a passageway below that guides and protects pedestrians from the incessant flow of trucks.

三个不同高度和长度的堆叠立方体的边缘是黑色的，清楚地表明它们是一个更大的部分的截短，以允许光，空气和灰质通过漏斗。办公大楼的原始白色皮肤上的所有光圈都突出显示出坚实的黑色边缘，使人联想到一种新的泛视主义形式。该建筑的设计目的是明确地传达效率、控制。

The edges of the three stacked cubes of varying height and length are black to clearly show they are sections of a larger whole truncated to allow light, air, and grey matter to funnel through. All apertures in the pristine white skin of the office block are highlighted with a solid black edge conjuring a new form of Panopticism. The building is designed to unambiguously communicate efficiency, control & manifest destiny.
