The central support lattice allows for natural airflow and ventilation and preserves the original location of the tree, facilitating for a tangible natural landscape.


The photo below is of the second floor in the main west building.


The walls when opened provide more natural airflow and ventilation.


The photo below is of the outdoor rooftop garden, integrating the natural landscape with the architecture itself.


The connecting bridges are adorned with grass and trees to foster a connection between the natural and man made.


The two images below are of the east building.



The following photo shows the thoroughfares between the Science and Engineering Building, the International House and their connection to the bridge. The support pillars are made to look like trees so as to reflect the natural landscape.




The photo below is of the general staff office, located on the second floor of the east building and above the common/study space.


Moving Element 1 : The glass walls slide up or down to provide natural airflow and ventilation, also acting as a glass balustrade for the outdoor rooftop gardens. 


Moving Element 2 : The rooftop canopy above the east building grows organically overtime and forms part of the architecture, providing shade to the area below.
