Just be mindful on how to tackle the common perception of any underground building equals grim, secretive, mysterious and detached from the outside world. It's just simply the perception of the underground. You’re welcome, glad I could help.

Anyway, having the building construct above ground does not do away the idea of 'secretive', a castle is above ground, so is a prison. Thanks for mentioning the bunker, i'll have to find more concrete answer to it during my presentation. @H Using clay, mold it with the wheel @A

I had this conversation with my supervisor on sinking it in and the bunker problem, but the idea of having a plaza above it seems to carry for weight that having the entire building above ground. plus, the idea is to minimize the ‘hierarchy-ness’ of a building.

Anyway, having the building construct above ground does not do away the idea of ’secretive’, a castle is above ground, so is a prison.

Using clay, mold it with the wheel

Instead it seems to give the perception of a government that's secretive, hidden operation in the 'bunk', avoiding the knowledge of the people.
