The facade of any conservational architecture is always going to be questioned. The ability to adapt and merge into the immediate surroundings should be an integral asset within the design. 
Having such a great expanse of open landscape brings about noticeable patterns within the movement of plant life due to the wind. The whistling of crops gently swaying and the ability to flex back and forward must be attributes that any facade on this landscape must fulfil. 
Monitoring the movement of reeds and how kinetic energy is transferred through to its adjacent neighbour one has attempted to catch the essence of the reverberating motion that naturally occurs with the wind. Due to the consistent patterns and cycles the movement is captured in a section and duplicated almost like a seismograph, monitoring the flow, experiencing its architectural quality from within and becoming invisible from the exterior.
