A series of calm and silent connected spaces created to nurture collaboration, communication, and cooperation over competition. Library, offices, restaurants, and auditoriums are harmoniously linked between a cloud-like canopy above, and a floor that gently rises and falls like a living organism as it inhales and exhales. \"Human movements are not linear like in a train, but curve in a more organic way,\" said architect Ryue Nishizawa, one-half of team SANAA, explaining his vision. \"With straight lines we only create crossroads, but with curves we can create more diverse interactions.\"
