PROGRAM AND PROCESS: DISTRIBUTION PLANNING Spatially and programmatically the building is organized so that design and fabrication happen simultaneously throughout, and are in constant collaboration with one another. Design and fabrication are organized around a large central atrium space containing a vertical assembly line. There are ten overall design and assembly steps to the process that are made possible by a series of platforms. A horizontal loop is taken at each level, or stage, and contributes to the main vertical flow of the fabrication process. FABRICATION TOWER
