"Therefor glass should hardly be
reduced to continuity of clarity, but should be considered as a veiling, the
most ambiguous gesture that modern architecture has got produced: the erotic
transit that promises the possibility of movement from one state to another. Transit, or Heideggerian unfolding, is based on the tension between the veil
and that which it covers, between the visible and the invisible. Perceived as
such, architecture is able to use and condense meaning rather than separate and
clarify it, and thus evoke the symbolic and poetic within the modern
tradition"

Translucent, though not transparent
 |
| Model 1:20 |
The natural
illumination inside is created through a translucent, though not transparent glass-facade.
The placement of the large lamps in front of the
glass-wall, which are taken to use when amount of natural light decreases,
manipulates the internal understanding of the external reality, making the
opening a filter of imagination.
Externally, the only
visualization of life inside is a play of shadows, depending on placement/strength of internal sources of light, as well as
distance to the glass facade.
It is an introverted design without
regards to context.
