An institutional campus design featuring a striking curved louvered rotunda linked via an elevated skybridge to rectilinear teaching blocks.
- What we like about this project
- The slender elevated bridge visually anchors the asymmetric pairing of a cylindrical volume and orthogonal blocks.

- Geometry
- Asymmetric compound layout combining a curving louvered drum structure on the left with orthogonal linear blocks connected by an elevated overhead bridge.
- Facade system
- Vertical louvers enclosing a curved volume, paired with metal-panel curtain wall and punched windows on orthogonal blocks.
- Structural guess
- Steel trusses supporting the elevated bridge volume over clear ground spans, with concrete cores for primary blocks.
- Spatial scale
- Large institutional campus scale, spanning multiple stories with cars and pedestrian figures providing relative scale.
- Lighting
- Diffused daylight under a hazy sky, casting soft shadows across the building facades and ground plane.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, civic atmosphere characterized by clean lines and daylight filtering through perimeter louvers.
- Environmental context
- Urban edge site set against faintly rendered high-rise silhouettes and foreground open green space.
- Spatial experience
- Approached across an open foreground lawn, the complex opens up through layered low-rise volumes framing a central passage.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical fin rhythm on the curved pavilion balanced against horizontal ribbon fenestration on the connecting bridge.
