About World Service Head Office Kantoargebou

Dit is it haadkantoarplan fan in bedriuw dat brulloften en tafelkleden produsearret en ferkeapet. Hy sitearret de foarm fan 'e tafel en de sêftens fan it kleed yn 'e gebouwen en materialen, stipet struktureel de grutte oerhingjende sirkelfoarmige dielen, en jout in gefoel fan sweevjen om de takomst te meitsjen. It ûntwerp is yndrukwekkend mei in grut folume, mar harmonisearre mei de natuerlike en lokale omjouwings.
