以前的经验揭示了这种性质的项目中的基本因素-灵活性，在整个项目期间，包括内部组织的不断变化，建筑的建设和生命线；以及在满足健康的所有规范和组织要求方面的适应性。

Previous experience brought to light the essential factors in a project of such nature - flexibility to embrace the constant change of internal organization throughout the duration of the project, construction and lifeline of the building; and adaptability when it comes to fulfilling all norms and organization requirements of the health & safety act.

因此，形成了一个矩形布局，其核心由一个独特的盒式楼梯、机械垂直通道、公共卫生设施和主要基础设施管道组成，迫使公共和工作人员之间的流通分离。该计划包括一条外部走道，容许现时或稍后阶段包括所需的紧急出口。

提供的照片和图纸可以让我们了解建筑物的规模和比例，但不能正确地理解我们可以在当地进行实验，这是显而易见的，但在这种情况下非常重要，因为我们面临着一个非建筑环境。

The photos and drawings presented allow us to understand the scale and proportions of the building but don’t give the right apprehension that we can experiment in a local viewing, what is obvious, but in this case very important because we face a non-build environment.
