SCIENCE PARK PROJECT, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURAL THESIS (HEFNAWY, 2017)

This Landscape Architecture Thesis features the landscape architecture design process of a Science Park, as the name suggests, including the master development of the different zones required in the site. The author defined a science park as an area managed in a manner designed to promote innovation. It is a physical place that supports university-industry and government collaboration with the intent of creating high technology economic development and advancing knowledge (Hefnawy, 2017). Its objectives are to upgrade regional economic development, and to create technology development.

The concept of this project revolves around the idea of Biomimicry Science (Fig. 16). It was mentioned that the nature such as plants, microbes, etc. are good at solving its own problems independently. This concept is an approach to an innovation that promotes sustainable solutions to human problems. The project then used the principle “use nature as a teacher”.
