In oice design, architects spend mos! ef ther time creating
spaces vith high bulding eficiency ratio, mass, shape, sin,

lime in morphological attempts, such as iting, tasting, anc
sharpening, 1o stand out trom the cron.
FRoconily, thers has been a rising interest in eco-tiendly
artitecure without the distinction of public and private areas
andlaterpis at cverse architecture are being made. The “ass

- What ara tha important planning factor n aioe design?”
Natural lighting and natural at venbiation, exoluding direct
