		<description>This design is great, yet I wonder if the users feel the same encouragement of meetings as was intended in the design.</description>

		<description>Just noticed the windows have rainbow colours on the return. Blergh :(
There&#039;s no rainbows in the rest of the project, why here?</description>

		<description>It has a nice high tech cleanness to it while implying some of the mystery that a laboratory entails, but I&#039;m not sure if most of that feeling is the good photography rather than the good architecture.

Also, the partitions, doors and windows of the lab rooms are a real let down. Maye they&#039;re a specialised product that had to be used, but it&#039;s a shame.

How does the building &quot;place humans in a central position&quot;? With solid balustrades you can barely see your colleagues as they circulate. Since the main natural light is coming from the skylights, why is it not maximised by having more glass and less circulation?

That vertical slit window on the corner breaks the horizontal lines of the facade for no good reason.

That said, the horizontal cladding is great, and I like those ventilation slits laying flush. And the windows have enough logic to them to avoid looking like someone played pin-the-rectangle-on-the-elevation, like in some projects.</description>
