Compact and Convoluted
The convoluted model reverses the interior and exterior condition in the compact model. The Brise-soleil, or Radiator, which used to be double-layered wall in the compact model, are exterior facade in the convoluted one. The altrium is then two wind tunnels penetrating through the facade. Side wall device divert and suck the wind flow from the two tunnels and cool down the temperature in the building.
Circulation of stairs carved into the facade device, connecting the levels around the central altrium in the compact model, while dispersed on both long facades.
