The aesthetic development is crucial to transferring the emphasis of the design to the affects that it produces. 29 It is the high degree of variation that contributes to an environment that is able to develop the most qualitative difference in the morphological continuity of the project. 30 Zongshi Liu (Rahim Research Studio, University of Pennsylvania), Urban Club, TriBeCa, New York City, 2009 The topology of the continuous surface is generated from specific localities and conditions. Iridescent colours highlight the geometry of the surface.

The goal was to use extreme variation to produce unprecedented architectural effects that flow from topological surfaces, and part-to-part as well as part-to-whole arrangements in extreme variation to produce distinct formal features for interiorities with the morphological continuity to develop a building. The distinct features – soft to bony, for example – enabled the development of spaces with very disparate and discrete spatial, material and lighting qualities that begin to transform into each other to maintain morphological continuity.
