what if something in the entrance made you pace yourself?

what if this project is located under the courtyard?

what if elements is penetrating the ground?

what if the existing building is a gate to a world underneath the ground?

what if the yard is a reflection of the world underneath? what happends if this is the same elements that carries the roof of the underground world?

what if the depth of the water slows you down... could the contrast between nature and built form make more aware of the elements themselves?

by inviting to walking instead of swimming?

what if I make a stair that makes you walk slowly...

What if you could be in a shower while waiting? would it make you slow down?
