All floor divisions were visible behind the horizontal elements of the facades that gradually thinned out in one area to accommodate glass openings for the offices located behind them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ground floor contained retail shops, an east-west oriented pathway that connected the two streets bordering the site, and a guard house on its roof (an addition the jury saw as a disruption to the eastern facade that gave it a less polished appearance). On the upper floors, there was a service core at the center of the \u201cL\u201d shaped plan and offices arranged all along the facades interconnected by corridors. Finally, the Engineers Association Headquarters sat at the very top of the building, marked by a setback.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The jury lauded the flexibility in the interior arrangement of this proposal.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, they also offered critiques, ranging from minor concerns such as the proximity of bathrooms to the central hall on office floors and the errors in fire escape design, to more significant issues regarding the facade design. Specifically, they noted a disconnect between the facades and the functions behind them in the plans, as well as inadequate illumination in some of the southern
