Metagram inserted vividly coloured architectural forms in order to create this iconic design.

Metagram Comprised of two sections, the primary tenancy was narrow, oddly shaped, and visually open to a vast, mostly inactive common mall area providing good visibility but little privacy. Metagram Adjacent to the tenancy, within the open mall space was the secondary area. Th... Mais
