Feedback Ideas

  1. One-way glass floors, to avoid looking up skirts from lower floors (Yi Lin)
  2. Dealing with E-waste from Ipads (Sussman)
  3. Importance of air conditioning with so much glass (Hsieh)
  1. Implemented (Slide 18)
  2. Something to consider given the large Ipad usage, best solution is most likely to pair with a service. (For example, the Real Recycling team from last project)
  3. Outer reflective glass shell, for both privacy and to limit heat intake (Slide 19)
