This was the initial drawing that I have done, The building keeps itself in the air by grabbing the two neighboring buildings like a spider web, with the strings stretched toward the buildings.
Alright, now we have the grounding theory, which means I should somehow relate/connect my building to the ground and also think about underground spaces as well. The solution was to redesign the building and fix some parts of it or add some parts to it. After thinking for a while I decided to place my receptionist office somewhere between underground and on the ground therefore part of the building would be somehow connected to the ground and the idea of the grounding would be safe while I'm keeping the initial idea of the floating in the air (the weightless feeling) safe. To connect the receptionist office to the office I was thinking about some sort of staircase or a ramp. My first reaction toward not being connected to the ground was to take the ground with me into the air! so I was wondering if I could have a green ramp with lights and stuff like that, I was thinking about how i could make my ramp or staircase more interesting, a cafe on the ramp? A toilet for the visitors on the ramp? mm or an ATM machine so they can give me the money right away? The idea of having soil and plants sounded too heavy for my initial idea which was a light steel structure, so I decided not to use the green ramp for this design. I still kept the idea about having the cafe, ATM machine and the toilet on the ramp for the visitors.
The whole building is made out of steel and glass, using the steel tubes to transfer the forces from the building to the two neighboring buildings, pushing the buildings
