Geometry means to measure the earth and the science of geometry has always served to rationalize nature. For the ancients, it was the disk of the sun that inspired the circle. In Egypt, the four corners of the rising and setting sun at summer and winter solstices marked the square mat of flat earth. In the Renaissance, the mechanics and proportions of the human body were translated into mathematical systems, currently, knowledge of nature has evolved from the scale of the mechanical to the intricacies of the molecular, to subtle and complex mapping that has changed our under-standing of the nature of nature.
It is this contemporary conception of order that this gateway parking structure expresses.Translucent channel glass arranged in DNA-derived patterns with open voids enclose the facades and provides ventilation for the parking, also conferring on the building a distinctive and memorable image. The glass has a stippled surface that radiates light,forming a shimmering veil around the concrete structure. At night, the channel glass is illuminated from within. On the south facade are photovoltaic panels arranged in the same patterns.
