PERSPECTIVE SECTION
All the interior archive on display when water level lower the bottom
When water flows into the archive,the lower two floors will be covered but recognised by the sound and humility through main tunnel
The blur boundary caused by flooding water shows the flexibility of exhibition area, which creates different experience for visiting people
Water flows out like a waterfall through holes at the bottom of the archive. At the same time,exhibition area will reopen to experience the humility

In order to maximize view toward the two streets and to increase the stability of the skyscraper, the tower is tapered from bottom to the top. The conceptural crown is designed as an extension of the tower to fit the tower tapering, which allows the upwash to follow the surface and go through the exposed structure.

A tri-arm perspex frame is employed as the sub-structure of each individual cluster, where each arm holds up 1 module. The perspex sub-frame is screwed on top to connected 3 individual modules. The tri-arm configuration prevents overlapping of the modules and stops them from colliding during movement.
