拥有着如此丰富的功能，The Circle被设想成了一座城市。为了在建成环境、公共休闲空间、以及交通流线之间建立对话，山本从中世纪苏黎世老城的迷宫式布局中获取灵感，形成了十分符合人体感受的建筑尺度。倾斜的外墙立面指向机场，带给建筑一种当代的感觉。人们既可以简单地穿过街道，也可以通过充满未来感的地下隧道去往航站楼。不仅如此，The Circle还与Butzenbeül绿地建立起了舒适的连接。月牙形的总平面将公园环抱其中，使其成为项目的一部分，创造了另一个为公众所用的空间。

With such diverse function program, The Circle was envisioned as a city, and for the dialogue between built spaces and publica areas of leisure and circulation, Yamamoto drew inspiration from the medieval labyrinthic layout of Zurich’s old town, which also makes for a very human architectural scale. The circulation area is covered by glass roofs, hung with space in between to allow air to flow. The inclined facades of the external walls make a gesture towards the airport building and give the architecture a contemporary feel. Connection to the airport terminal can be done either through simply crossing the street or taking the futuristic looking underground tunnel. Furthermore, The Circle also establishes a welcoming connection with the green area Butzenbeül, the crescent shape of the masterplan embracing the park and incorporating it into the project, creating another area for public use.
