INSPIRATION: The idea actually comes from the sunflower. I always have an interest in them. They follow the sun during the day rotating their faces to their precious. This project was born from that idea. The design and the rotating specification of the project integrates with nature from that aspect.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This design is actually integrated with nature with the used materials and the philosophy of design. Therefore, design has minimal effect on nature but harmony with nature.
CHALLENGE: In the beginning, the design was a little bit different. When we discussed the static and current cost of the building, we realized that we have to make little changes unless affecting the philosophy of the design. As a result, the semi arch structure was decided.
