CCD has a very poetic description of their project on ArchDaily. Usually, when studying a summary, I skim through such introductions, as the language of architects easily drifts into philosophical musings, conjuring in the mind the images and sensations the author intends. For instance, attend a lecture by Sergey Kuznetsov. I think he uses some kind of forbidden magic during his talks: it's impossible to stop listening.
That's why I prefer to first independently explore the project, delving shallowly into its history, and then compare my impressions with what the author suggests.
This is very similar to experiencing the same work in the format of a book and a movie, but in reverse: the architecture remains the same, but the thoughts differ.
P.S. You can read more about CCD's natural architecture here.
