THE SHAPE OF THE BUILDING IS DETERMINED BY SOLAR ORIENTATION. THE ANGLE OF THE FACADE'S INCLINE IS GRADUALLY CHANGING, FROM SOUTH TO NORTH, FROM VERTICAL TO SLOPED - TO TURN AWAY FROM THE DIRECT SUNLIGHT PENETRATION ON THE SOUTH, AND TO ANGLE TOWARDS MORE AMBIENT DAYLIGHT PENETRATION ON THE NORTH. WEST / EAST FACADES ARE SLOPED MODERATELY, TO SLIGHTLY INCREASE DAYLIGHT GAIN. THE COURTYARD, AS WELL AS LIGHT SHELVES, SERVES THE SAME PURPOSE TOO. THE ROOF IS CLAD IN SOLAR PANELS, AND TILTED TOWARDS SUN TO BE MORE EFFICIENT DURING THE SUN'S LATITUDINAL TRAVEL.
