	“The BIG BOX concept created an inherent hierarchy with the four corners being most desirable: corner apartment, corner office, corner view etc. ODA challenges this hierarchy by designing a tower where most dwelling units are a corner apartment. Furthermore, this formal condition articulates architecture’s effect on creating dynamic skylines with 420 Kent’s towers and voids engaged in a conversation between figure and ground.”		“The BIG BOX concept created an inherent hierarchy with the four corners being most desirable: corner apartment, corner office, corner view etc. ODA challenges this hierarchy by designing a tower where most dwelling units are a corner apartment.
