Design Intent: The design is rooted in celebrating and emphasizing the essential collaborative nature between the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture. The building and the landscape have a symbiotic relationship as building water is reclaimed and stored to sustain plant life. As time passes, yellow orchid vines will take over the entire southern face of the expansion, providing shade from the Arizona sun.
