The Urban Membrane
The semi permeable cell membrane permits only the most selective exchange between interior and exterior. The building absorbs energy and information, the users become the messengers.
Without flaw, fully integrated, free from awkward transitions and creating perfectly smooth continuity.
Space is an extension of the body, a protective membrane between interior and exterior
Sigfried Ebeling ( Space as a membrane )

Tower 2
Skin is the interface between inside and outside, between public and private realms, between the institution and the city, the development of the building skin elaborates these transitions.
