Architecture & Moving Elements
The first image is a labelled aerial view showing the various composition of spaces.
The images below are of the main building, situated on the west side of the bridge.
Below is a view of the lecture theatre taken from outside.
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.

Initial Ideas/Planning
Below is the aerial plan for the location of the proposed school, adjusted from the circulation model to accommodate a bridge between Squarehouse, SEB and the International House food court.
The following diagram is a bubble diagram showcasing the orientation of spaces relative to each other as well as the suggested dimensions of each space.
Theory
Keywords: Dynamic, Tangible, Civic
Theory: To facilitate for a school of the future, the natural form of the landscape must be tangible, generating connections between people and their environment, encompassed as dynamic civic areas.

Redesigned Cross
I have situated the redesigned cross in between the greenery located behind Squarehouse and adjacent to the Roundhouse to optimise the circulation between the various buildings situated around the site. The cross bridges the Squarehouse to the Roundhouse, the gym and the Science and Engineering Building .
