Problems found: 1. The staircase should be function as emergency exit. Garden could narrow the space for people working this building. We have to deal with the garden arrangement to meet the security need. 2. With height of the building, some people who are afraid of height will feel uncomfortable so they can not stand for a long time. 3. Mirrors can be used to reflect. 4. Water, weight and space should be noticed.

Problems found: 1. The corridor is claimed to be in constant use. Therefore, we have to consult with Goldsmith staff to ensure how often the space is used. 2. Sun could be difficult found here. Maybe we can use mirror to reflect the sun on the wall into the dark space.

Problems found: 1. The site is compost of three small spaces, which we need to explore how to link them together. 2. There is one emergency exit in one of the space. We have to find the solution to deal with the garden and security of Lockwood building. 3. In one of the space, some trees are already planted. So we have to remove them in sustainable way. Maybe it could take time.
