At first glance, the building sits like a solid stone block with a lightweight industrial roof hovering over it supported by thin surrealistic legs. This image does two things; creates a mystery of what lies inside and secondly reminds us of a most rudimentary way of protection from the harsh sun, a large plane creating a shadow with a massive  footprint: both done to reduce the carbon footprint created by large air-conditioned institutions otherwise. The roof provides a sense of relief to the inhabitants and makes the ITM School of Business an inherently green building.
