LOOK THROUGH

Here'a a building where spatial and functional qualities result in a light, sustainable and dynamic whole, creating a "gate" effect, where you look through the building rather than at it. From the ground floor, in this Centre for Life Sciences, arises a zoology wing connected with the animal housing; the south wing is dedicated to botany.   

Light from above through the open ares and views of the sky connect the interiors with the outside world.I would look if i saw something like this, wouldn't you?
