On Parti diagram, I tried to start with simple lines and shapes, such as diagonal and nine-box grid. Though there is only one Z-shaped pattern on each layer, when they overlap, you get more complex and interesting patterns. Moreover, the reasonable arrangement of the solid and void can also create sight penetration in the plan and elevation.




Due to the reversal of the plan patterns between different levels,  elevations present different structures. Some elevations can present a continuous and complete flat surface, while others have a more fragmented composition of smaller faces and angles




The holes and gaps in the elevations show the continuity of the void.
