MTL is an office building working about the architectural systematic. The owner wanted his business to be reflected in the architecture with the 4-storey high building with 3000 square meter of functional area. Another interesting aspect by the owner is that he wants this office building to give sense of hominess to all of his people.
At first, the site was a vacant land with lots of tree. After observing the site, the design concept came up. The perception of people to the architecture should remain the same as before the construction.
Imperfect is an important key for this design. By letting nature become a part of the design, the building allows other creatures such as bird or weed grow and live inside. Moreover, boundary between circulation part and zoning is blurred. Instead of having a clear separation between each section, the boundary is exploded, and space can be adjusted freely depend on function.
For the facades, we use 50,000 bricks to create a self-organization facades, allowing the nature to control the appearance of the brick which later, this will become a characteristic of the building.
