Our approach to this topology is radical, we break the grid. Buildings are no longer organize on single directions lines, but on multi-directional paths." explained by the UNIT Studio Founder Moyang Yang. "The highrise buildings are orthogonally orientated to the main access, while the small scale buildings have their own independent orientation. This scheme facilitates the autonomy of each buildings and gives a pleasant feeling of human scale. This organization opens to news possibilities at each points, where the user have options to choose where to go. The director grid pattern is continuing seamlessly on the building's facade, creating a rhythm of lines that emphasizes movement through both, x and y axis"
