Context & Location.
Design Concept & Programme.
> It is not a trading arena with offices, but an office with virtual organs that suggest and illustrate the process of the market. A floating base lifted by the same speculative euphoria that drives the market, vastly increases its exposure. In its elevated position, it can 'broadcast' the activities of the stock market to the entire city. The ground can be used as a covered urban plaza and space for public events.

Signage Concept.
> A system of extreme simplicity and dignity. The reduced nature of the form allows information, both static and dynamic, to be foregrounded. The reserved material and colour, and the high level of craftsmanship, signify a certain self-assurance and institutional presence. The cool, minimal wayfinding and signing elements are counterpoints to the exhilaration of the architecture and texture of the landscape, whilst the understated form and typography allow the system to work in all the diverse environments and afford maximum legibility.
