REGION Through corridors, bicycles, motorcycles and pedestrian routes are separated. This protects the safety of the elderly and the children. At the same time rely on the corridor, this project establish a new transport system. The Corridor bridge enhances the link between the public buildings and residential areas, and forms the various transition space, which adds new functions. Combined with the Corridor Bridge, the project redesign the public buildings, activating the vitality of the site. 35

Enneper's Surface

Enneper's surface is a well-known minimal surface. Though it has a fairly uncomplicated parameterization (first equations above), it is somewhat hard to visualize because of its self-intersections.
