Ombre

 In this case, my building gives shade to a train station platform, which is what the French word ombre (shade) denotes. Three built-up columns and their steel construction provide the building with a solid foundation. Whereas one cantilever at the top shades the platform, the second cantilever on the opposite side shades the automobiles parked in the lot. In order to create a channel for water, both cantilevers were designed in this manner. Water flows from the larger to the smaller cantilever and then collects in the gutter due to the cantilevering motion.
