Concept refers to the notion of learning as an observative experience: educational programs overlook activities in an effort to integrate education with construction through the act of exhibition. Community, educational and recreational
facilities offer after-school activities as well as safe access to the river for boating. Volumetric study that incorporates 50% open space within the designated site for the building while taking in consideration solar exposure
