The concept of this project that explores the dichotomy between the formless, non-physical nature of Artificial Intelligence and the tangible, geometric forms that humans inhabit. The primary structure consists of a geometric frame, representing the habitation, human aspect of the design. Enclosed within this frame that the interior space is an organic, sinewy cocoon-like structure, symbolizing the AI's essence as a living organism. This soft, enveloping form stretches and expands in all directions, creating a dynamic interplay between the two contrasting elements. When viewed from one angle, the building looks like a geometric box, but as one moves around the building, the perspective changes, revealing part of the organic cocoon inside.

The project will be a public urban market. The program of the market will be detined - a market for what? The previous rich history of 19th and 20th century industrial development in Philadelphia has been challenged with many of the previous industries exiled from the city center. This is the result of complex relationships to land value, labor practices, environmental and health standards and E general economical shift to globalization and free market capitalism.

Firstly, a large number of sustainable local materials are used in landscape design, such as black cherry in hard wood and flash pine in soft wood. Secondly, considering the issue of energy efficiency, in the design process of the main venue, the designer reduced energy consumption by using insulation, double-glazing windows, energy-efficient appliances and lighting, and incorporating renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines. At the same time, the orientation of the site buildings can maximize the utilization of natural light and solar thermal energy, thereby reducing the demand for artificial lighting. Adaptively reuse the abandoned Viaduct above the site, while saving materials and protecting heritage, to become a high-altitude railway park that radiates the surrounding community, and resonate by using the same design elements as the site architecture. In addition, this project utilizes a large area of diverse greenery on the site to reduce pollution and increase people's sense of happiness and comfort through this biophilia effect.
