Facade ConceptsResponsiveness to solar conditionsSunshades react to facade orientation to reduce cooling loads and contribute to the building’s appearance and sustainability.
Respect for City HallFacade becomes more open as it comes closer to City Hall, to create an overall gesture of “opening up” to welcome citizens to City Hall and follow the Civic Thread in unifying the complex.
Communication ofactive programs
Active programs, including spaces on the lower levels with indoor-outdoor connections,
feature extra-clear low-iron glass
Privacy for secure programsPrivate or secure programs feature blue
