URBAN OASIS Over the Rhine Gardens
Being in the city brings a fast-paced lifestyle that one often loses themself within. It is easily forgotten to pause and take in the moment that is happening. One must be reminded of the beauties the world has. By taking the time to stop for a moment, an overwhelming sense of tranquility can unexpectedly come from a place one did not know could be experienced in that way. By journeying throughout the Urban Oasis, the feeling of a fastpaced city life starts to slow down. Using the elements of form, light and pattern, a space is created that brings similar feeling that lavender has. Senses of serenity and calmness start to become present as circulation is forced vertically around two different garden spaces. Classrooms and labs are placed to enhance the program of the space and encourage education. A exterior prefabrication system is used, forming the most valuable views. Upon exiting and entering back into the city environment, a connection to the environment and nature is created.
