People are not modular, just a remark
Did you consider transparent portions for the wall?
the building geometries still end up being tight and create separation to landscape areas.
The competition itself demanded a tight modularity in order to be possible to be replacated everywhere and easly. We focused on the person as a human being and not a module, that's why we reduced the number of inmates in the structure, and we let nature enter in all the areas possible. In any public facilities modularity is proved to be functional. Modularity does not mean that people become module themself, it works to help people in their daily duties and in this case in their rehabilitation.
Yes we have, we even went beyond that. In fact the part of the wall adjacent the meeting area disappear to leave space to nature.
Yes it does, because our idea was to create a village not a building that blends in the landscape.
