This form aims to connect occupants with each other as well as with the form, natural environment, and programming. The curves define these connections and allow for programming to be translated throughout the form. The inherent desire for connections in the workplace, made evident by initial research on the Apple Campus in Cupertino, CA, is translated into this space to provide a connective environment for Systran’s employees. As Systran aims to connect companies with differing backgrounds, this form aims to connect occupants with each other, harness health and well-being through biophilia, and create a continuous flow of ideas throughout the space. There are four main levels of connectivity in the space: programmatic, spatial, topographical, and sensory.
