The floors branch out again to continue above, staggering against the exterior eaves to compose a uniquely intricate elevation. This complicated structural logic is applied not only in the elevation, but throughout the interior space, as well, where the floors themselves entwine diagonally with a void that looks out to the opposing space created at the center of this complicated floor. Although this opposing space seen from the void appears to continue visually, one can only arrive at it by traveling through the complicated levels and taking a drastic detour after moving to a different floor.

While visually adjacent, the flow is one that requires a long traveling distance. The commonly understood three-dimensional depth and the sense of distance are being disturbed, creating architectural spaces where various distances become complicated, much like what is happening in infospheres like the internet. This architecture realizes such network-type spaces, where various distances become increasingly complex, as a “network of complex levels” in which multiple levels are networked and layered over one another.

Our hope is that this complex, layered network space will become a new architectural form that captures the various activities borne out of today’s informational society, in which diversity and order are being demanded simultaneously.
