Such a great work! It’s very fascinating how the unit is used to create the facades allowing a very interesting pattern inspired by the Koi fish to appear on it. The images of physical model help in the understanding of how the architectural approach of an illuminated bubble would work in this project. Overall, it is a great and interesting project!
