Materials: The materials used were appropriate to house people. The materials were also used and innovated with to solve the problem of housing.
Simplicity: The buildings have simple geometry, ie they are rectangular shaped only. The building only uses trees and greenery for decorations, which is not only simple, but environmentally friendly.
Artistic, Self expression: The design was inspired by circuit boards. The design portrays creativity and is unique.
