Two precedents are chosen for producing AI drawings: Barbican Center and Walt Disney Concert Hall. The new AI drawings are imposed on the site and create threshold conditions that would provide information for the program.

Developing from thresholds, programs are attached to them. Thresholds connects the main arena space with other programs that make up a gaming arena. AI drawings are transformed into threshold chuncks which change the condition that people move from one place to another. Drawings analyze the circulation that exist between individual thresholds.
