5. Inspiration & Concept Public garden
integration
Inspired by the nurturing embrace of the womb, where
life begins and potential is realized, so too must an
architectural school be a fertile ground where aspiring
architects are conceived, nurtured, and developed.
It should be a sanctuary of creativity and knowledge,
where the seeds of architectural vision are planted,
cultivated, and brought to fruition.
In this sacred space, the dreams and skills of future
architects are incubated, fostering growth and awakening
the possibilities that shape our built environment.
Incorporating seating areas within
the space creates opportunities for
students to share experiences and
communicate effectively.

CONCEPT

6. Climate control
and green spaces
Leaving the top of the oval shape open helps reduce
energy consumption and maintain a pleasant climate
throughout the year.
Integrating green spaces on
the rooftops provides outdoor
areas accessible from every
floor of the building, enhances
the scenery of the administra-
tion building, and seamlessly
blends with the public garden.
Classes
Implementing brise soleil in the facade openings not only
controls sunlight but also adds a dynamic aesthetic to the
building's exterior.
Studios
Integrating a vertical version of the facade's design
maintains the building's identity while distinguishing its
various functions.
Administration
Integrating a Horizontal version of the facade's design
maintains the building's identity while distinguishing its
various functions.

Inspiration & Concept
Trees grow in a cone shape to
optimize sunlight absorption,
especially in environments with
limited space.
This natural architecture allows
lower branches to capture sunlight
from various angles while tapering
towards the top minimizes
self-shading.
In narrow spaces, such as dense
forests or urban areas, this design
enables trees to efficiently compete
for sunlight, ensuring their growth
and survival in challenging
conditions.
