This building embraces the potential of tactile materials and textiles to challenge the machine-centric approach to comfort in modern architecture. It recognizes that human comfort is influenced by cultural factors like clothing, diet, and sleep patterns. Since the late 18th century, with the rise of fossil fuels, comfort has been primarily engineered to suit human physiology, often overlooking cultural and experiential aspects. This building also shortcut to fossil fuels has devalued the inventiveness of the human experience and culture.
