Design Direction
Co-existence of realms
The Campus and the buildings of the park are characterized by a clear entry, consistent fabric and a clear edge. The buildings cluster around to form active courts and streets extending the public realm.
Of movement and pause
The streets are defined, linear urban space for pedestrians within the various smaller campuses forming the unified whole larger campus. These streets are small in scale and are the local pedestrian connectors throughout the Campus. They act as active urban spaces and have been reinforced with an incidental quadrangle or a court that are energized with small, paved gathering and meeting spaces.
Relatable scale and proportions
The orthogonal volume of Buildings with 2 – 10 storeys height gives a legible sense of arrival. Vehicular circulation is limited to the periphery of the campuses and independent buildings while parking is restricted predominantly to the basements.
Movement spines with pause points
Streets form the circulation network that connects the pattern of campus open spaces and provide a framework for the campus experience. The building group forms a quad in the middle of this street that has a vibrant landscaping.
