This building is safety training center. The primary vertical louvers on the building are treated with different colors on each side—dark and sharp on the left, thick and light on the right. From the front, the glass emphasizes a sense of lightness. The V-shaped columns on the first floor create a visual effect, as if rocks are being held aloft.Additionally, the windows on either side are arranged in extreme contrasts, with one side having very few and the other many, dramatically highlighting the building’s duality.
