JURY 1

CONCEPT: THE BUILDING IS SEEN AS A SINGLE ENTITY, WITH "ARMS" EXTENDING OUT, AND MERGING INTO IT'S SURROUNDS. THERE ARE 4 DISTINCT QUALITIES OF THE SITE- NAMELY, THE RAILYWAY LINE  CUTTING THROUGH THE SITE, THE IMMEDIATE CONNECTION TO THE WATER, THE GROUND AND THE TREES. THE BUILDING TRIES TO ESTABLISH A CONNECTION TO THIS SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE.
ALSO, FROM THE ELEVATION, A PASSERBY CAN ONLY SEE A RAMP LEADING TO THE BUILDING, WITH THE REST OF THE BUILDING OBSCURED BY THE TREES.

RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE.
