We tried to translate the notion of labour into architectural language. Different geometries represent stakeholders in the play. By letting the path becoming the protagonist in the negative space in the building, we then developed an External path to critique on the inequity of the 2:1:1 governing structure, and to compensate the unfavourable part. Two Path which are internal and external path respectively Go through and Oversees the clashed geometries.

When geometry meets, some may compromise and some may go through the other. In this way, they starts “negotiating” the program. The path is a protagonist in the program who goes through and links up all the circumstances, from the ground level to the top floor.

The three kind of geometries in the building were originally serves as the three part of the governing structure in the organization. But when they are clashing with each other, complicated circumstances and transition moments are created. Then they serves as a unity to show the complexity of the real status of labour.
