Office Headquarter
Third Year Design Course - 2018 A
A
Working in a headquarter’s office means being part of a whole machine, but still inhibit a sense of singularity. The design of the building will offer these two feelings simultaneously under a complete modular system. The design also creates an experience of being in an outdoor-indoor interconnected sequence of spaces.
