I am looking to figure out how the building can dematerialize. The hollow accumulates a lot of fog, both natural and artificial from the neighboring boiler plant. I’m not looking to cloak the building in the fog, but I think it would be interesting to consider the exterior of the building as a porous, indefinite whole. The materiality can dematerialize, shift, obscure, and float the mass.

The interior social spaces are unrelated to the external form, creating an experience that cannot be objectified by understanding an exterior to the interior. Like the belly of a whale, the inside spaces and structure have no evident relationship to the exterior form. This results in an architecture that is purely experiential.
