Mash up:
The future looks bleak. As the human population rises, cities are becoming congested. We are running out of room for development. The three-dimensional spaces at different levels are taking designs to the sky to find the perfect balance between nature, health and the built environment. This will contribute to challenge the limits of architectural design in the form of futuristic modernity. In addition to developing skyline, the bridges are landscaped and equipped for a variety of services traditionally restricted to the ground: medical facility, Media rooms, lounges, library, pools, and rooftop sky gardens with plenty of mechanisms to recycle waste, harness natural resources, optimize space and natural sunlight. Purposefully, parks are hoisted on steel structures high above the ground:the charm of traditional courtyards combined with the modernity of the project. Circulation is linear with Floating Observatories as integral parts of the suspension system. The buildings are shaped to encourage self-sustaining high above the ground.
Theory: Sky building and Disappearance of the ground.

Description:
Location of the Arch School is decided to be on above of the Square House, because the theory is to apply 3-dimensional space in the sky and the building is designed to be set a connection between Square House and the sky.
In case to react with the sky space, the building seems to be lack of support for its stability. However many parts such as the top frame is designed to be hollow to answer this kind worries, as this design can be found in the Sketch up Model.
Another part of the theory is to make the ground disappear. So the allocation of the rooms abandons the traditional Level or Ground Mode. They are designed to be hanged on the top frame by thin column, which makes them to be detached to the datum and not lose connection with each others.

The exist of the word Bridge is spited into Three parts: visual, functional and ideal. For the visual exist bridge is put on the frame: The horizontal extended top gives strength to the below parts. The functional part of the bridge provides walking space for students, expressed as approximated two levels (Actually as the theory is to apply 3-dimensional space in the sky, the height limit and concept of exact level are weaken). Ideally, the building is the connect the Square House with the upper space, the sky, in order to reflect the theory.

2 Moving Elements:
Disappearing Floors:
As visitors makes moving an the floors, the structure of it will give a sense of floor being disappearing. This is not only just a movement of a single part of the building, but react will human's moving: The steps moving, the floor starts to disappear.
This also reflects the theory: Building in the sky and Disappearance of the ground. Because this element pretends to float in the sky, which is the goal when buildings managed in sky try to achieve. And it gives more sunlight to the below in order not to make it too shaded.
Controllable shelter:
When design buildings in the sky, it would not be a good idea to make it very closed and isolated - this will waste the splendid view on a high level. So this Arch School is designed to be extremelly open. However, if doing so, the weather should be considered, so this controllable shelter is made to protect inner space when is rainy or strongly windy.
