    The document proposes a "breathing architecture" for a corporate office building that integrates the building with the landscape. It aims to create an experiential workspace through movement and unfolding interior vistas. The proposed design uses passive and active strategies like a double skin facade and green atrium, as well as open circulation and exploitation of solids and voids, moving away from the current mechanical systems and direct circulation of standard office buildings.
