Although the architecture presents itself as an object, it can act as a flexible structure, reacting to the topographical embankment and linking the upper and lower level. Elegantly, it creates local places and connections by framing outdoor areas and providing passageways. At the same time it does not respect the embankment as an area whose green has to be preserved. The slimness of the towers is problematic in terms of ecology and use. The relation to the adjacent volume/mass of the new P&R building is not considered.
