Concept: Design of a school for architecture explores the incorporation of natural elements present within immediate location into man-made architecture to allow for fluid transition amongst external and internal space. Design aims to uncover contextual issues through thorough site analysis to create opportunities which enrich the architectural experience by maintaining connection with wider context.
Themes: (1) Contextual rooting; (2) Transition spaces; (3) Learning environment
