The aerial view at left (click for expanded view) illustrates
the various parts of the development, including the red wall
and parking podium, the approach road, the pond, and the offices
integrated into the landscape beyond. The architects decision
to locate office spaces beyond the wall - and the wall itself
- ironically recognizes the automobile by stifling its physical
effects. Therefore the Research Office acts as a symbol of the
company who manufactures parts that attempt to lessen an automobile's
destructive impact, hopefully allowing the driver to stop before
hitting another car, for example.
