The roof of this structure cantilivers in all directions to shade the facades which recieves a lot of sunlight throught the day and provide a cool exterior and interior envrionment. The shape of the roof follows the outline of the building rising to a higher level carrying the floor height along leading to double hight spaces in different areas of the structure. The exhibition spaces also houses the observation decks at the next floor as small pods emerging out, visible from the ground floor.
