YW: The clients is very thought for for the environment as they are working in the fabric business. This project is also joining the LEED scoring, therefore from the start making decision for materials we have to think through carefully. As our main concern is to use less amount of construction materials and make the most usage of them, just like our main design brief, to be multi-functional and the Gallery Glaces to see materials in different ways, we used mirrors as the main material in the site. It has different view when we look at it at different angles, and it reflects different materials on it, to make the site more interesting and using less materials.
