Urban Accumulation: The students developed their ideas using the theme of 'accumulation', an understanding of the city as a place where layers of uses, buildings and meanings accumulate over time. Thus, some revisions were made to their preliminary site strategy to incorporate as many of the existing uses and structures as possible within their proposals.

The design illustrates how each of the towers could accumulate new types of residential accommodation, private open space, communal open space as well as retail, commercial and community uses in a ground-level podium.
