This building functions as a central hub for nature, collecting data about its surroundings and releasing nutrients among other resources sustaining local plant and animal life. Humans are guests in this structure as nature is prioritised. A snaking central void lined with plant life creates a vertical garden and greenhouse in tune with the surrounding nature. Three spherical modules branching from the void create human-accessible spaces where denizens of the building can interact with the nature of their city. A comprehensive pipe system stemming from slits in the facade feeds the internal nature with data and water.

Screens provide a buffer between the inside and outside worlds while also becoming a scaffolding for the plants to crawl upon. The focus falls upon the filtering of light through combinations of exterior conditions such as glass, wooden screens, and foliage.
Lighting effects emphasize the path of the nature throughout the building as well as the necessity for artificial greenhouse lighting in areas where nature would not receive adequate natural light
