New building of EPF Lausanne, Rolex Learning Center, designed by Japanese architect SANAA.

Its "carpet" structure makes interesting phenomena. Through the space below, you can find different sequences with people above sitting, standing and different furniture, etc.

In the building, many people are sitting and lying on the floor. I guess it doesn't happen if it's just flat ground floor. The sequence of different levels makes sort of hierarchy in the space, and it fits to different behavior of people; reading, chatting, eating, resting, etc.

It would be interesting to see how it works with landscape design.
