This is a campus renovation project. We understand the importance of the campus environment for arts, and we hope to create a space where students can experience life and nature through design.
Challenge
Conflicts between the small footprint of the campus lot and the design specifications have yet to be resolved; there are elevation differences in the ground.
How might we create a grey space for student socializing with a wind and rain corridor?
Due to the small footprint, the curved corridor effectively increases the perimeter of the building, and the U-shaped space creates a courtyard-like framing effect that also brings in climate control. The semi-encircling design language increases student dialogue and interaction, becoming a grey space for students to chat, socialize and even dance.
Result
Activate new life on campus with a tandem of the wind and rain corridor.
