This project is about the correlation between a load bearing system analysis and a topological geometry. The architectural design is an underground network of the Dominion Center in Toronto. The whole architecture is packed mostly underground, but at the same time expressing its diversity and complexity, linking and connecting the bottom with the events above. The goal was to create an organisational archetype, that should define the projects formal appearance in different scales at the same time. The hybrid is an all-purpose system of links andconnections through 1.000.000 m² usage diversity. The design strategy is based on piercing programs, continuously expanding volumes and the creation of spatial layers which re-associate and create a spatial network of circulations and subdivisions. Those surfaces were connected with each other through funnels and they interact with and inside each other. The users are experiencing piercings and fusions of surfaces and programms while circulating through the interface.
