The emphasis on the creation of a thriving community requires that the building be both identifiable as a whole while at the same time allow the individuality of the residents to be identified. For that reason, the exterior treatment incorporates features that would distinguish the private from the public and allow the different wings to be clearly different. The key functions such as stairs, elevator, circulation, common facilities, residential units are all treated differently in order to create a vocabulary of forms and colors that will allow both a clear identity and an integrated whole.
