架构师提供的文本描述。这座商业综合体将坐落在一个狭小的角落，面积为25‘x 100’。通常，商业综合体作为“类型”被设想为一个普通的玻璃盒或覆盖标准材料，如非加太，这种表面拼接的结果是陈腐的产品。保持身份和经验作为我们的核心问题，我们构想了一个信封，对这个惰性玻璃盒子的陈词滥调提出质疑。通过改变传统的墙截面，即典型的楼板、基座和林格高度，并在建筑物的长度上不断地改变它们，目的是改变立面的水平读数。

Text description provided by the architects. The commercial complex was to sit on a tight corner site measuring 25’x 100’. Typically the commercial complex as a ‘type’ is conceived as a generic glass box or clad with standard materials like ACP, the consequence of such surface articulation results in clichéd products. Keeping identity and experience as our core issues we conceived an envelope that questions this very cliché of an inert glass box. By altering the conventional wall section, i.e. the typical floor, sill and lintel heights and constantly varying them along the length of the building the intention was to alter the horizontal reading of the elevation.

 Concept Development

建筑的围护结构不仅是一个二维的平面，而且是一个由梯形物体组成的三维组合物，由贯穿建筑的图形凹槽缝合在一起。这些构造策略不仅为建筑物建立了新的身份，而且改变了人们的感知，从而产生了新的视觉体验。

The building envelope was also not just conceived as a two- dimensional flat surface but as a three dimensional composition of trapezoidal objects stitched together by a graphic recess that runs across the building. These tectonic strategies not only establish a new identity for the building, but also alter perception and thereby spawn a new visual experience.
