FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?

FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
SA: There are a few reasons why I enclosed the long (30 meters) front wall. One, was that the existing building's elevation was really unpleasant, and I had no permission to touch it!
