SEPAC form is arranged around three "ribbons", which act as bridges connecting project The Fifth Season with land on the Eastern side. Some ribbons change their direction the after crossing each other and create the frames for SEPAC form. The building basically revolves around the ribbons.

SEPAC address the local and external audience. The southern part is addressed mostly for the local community. Smaller spaces are used for cafeterias, local shops, small gym and acts as an urban fabric that host functions which are the reason why inhabitants travel now to Rotterdam. The main solid hosts performance and exhibition complex. This consists of lobby, service, buffet, workshop area, administration and finally the scalable performance and exhibition area (internal and external). The main area can shrink and grow accordingly to the spatial needs of current activity. This is achieved through movable roof and one facade.

The movement is achieved through a translation along a surface of the terrace, rotation of the construction element of the facade along the fixed axis and angle change at the connection of the roof to the facade and the ribbon. This action can decrease the volume of the main space by 500 m3 and lower the height considerably. Together with the enlargement of the inner space, the area of the external area shrinks. This process is thought to continue indefinitely, adapting the space to the amount of the actors inside.
