Study arrival and entering sequence and put the square as such
Open spaces connect city to project and should remain open outside working hours of project
Consider suspension of the fragmented building over the platform

Elaborate penetration towards waterfront and main street.
Voids between buildings should be compatible between model, plans and should be active

Serpentine form should create more studied outdoor spaces.
Lifting building up should be more studied as it offers strategic viewpoint of project and to views
Path as garden
Provide more Accessibility from roof ( reference: Foreign office architects)
