The design is nice but it is stuck in an abstract realm. I am missing any thought beyond pretty shapes. I can't make sense of the text "...to which biophilic mimesis can be added or polarized and complete compass, and form a central space of magnetic convergence of attraction." The words mimic the design. I see and read a lot of "buzziness" without much conceptual or intellectual depth.

Encounters with the City:Transit Beyond Efficiency

This thesis critiques BKC as an inhuman corporate enclave privileging cars over people. It proposes a masterplan with three buildings that weave everyday city programs into BKC, reclaiming ground for pedestrians, adding amenities, and reintroducing human scale to create an inclusive civic district.
