When I think of a building adapting its surrounding natural contours I think of BIG's Greenlands National Gallery of Art, not this slightly decorated concrete block sitting on a plinth. Furthermore, If they were referring to how the building interacts with the ground plane, and not its overall form reacting to the natural contours, then it is even less spectacular then I first thought. Simply allowing your building to step down a hill is not innovative. Only positive I can think of is the clean sleek use of materials. It does bring to thought the sensation of taking a deep breath of clean cool air.

As long as the client and the architect are cool with it... Just that maybe architects should not try to over justify their decisions with fancy notions of involving the townspeople and stuff...

It is silly to assume that just because of architectural gestures that the building will be more friendly to its neighbors. it looks as if conference or classrooms face the "public square". why not a cafe here if they are attempting to create a public square since these walls will be covered most of the time if they are classrooms. i dont think any “townsfolk” will go here without any programs to attract them.
