Architectural Precedent


My Architectural school will represent a return to the basis of architecture with simple, natural elements. A serene, tranquil and atmospheric environment will be generated by keeping functional spaces open and layering greenery upon the architecture. Students and staff may be inspired by their close proximity to nature and be tuned into the rhythms of nature.

Focus of the Architecture


  1. Returning to natural principle: Architectural students may gain an appreciation for the 'roots' of architecture ingrained in naturally occurring forms. 
  2. Creation of atmosphere, serenity, calm: The atmosphere of each space should be controlled so as to have a positive affect on the occupants of the space.
  3. Shifting perspectives: shifting the visual perspective of students within the building allows them to gain new insights on different views.
  4. Principle of order: Each space should fit within the order of the grand architecture so as so reflect an ordered natural ecosystem.
  5. Natural Affinity: Primary spaces of the building being exposed and open will nurture the inhabitants' natural affinity and facilitate an appreciation for nature.
