The building is following a specific type of modernism, for example, the free rectangle plan, the free facade, free movement space, rooftop garden, and the exposure of structures etc. The building could be considered as a cube or a box with neat pillars, except some part of the building adjusted for the functional space. This type of building could be very flexible with the arrangement of plan and the space. The building is a framework, so the walls are no longer bearing structure, instead they become the boundaries and the separate structures. The facade illustrates the space in the building, and made the building as a continuous spatial matrix.
