Creating a fludic form that tends to blend and compliment with the context and site. A form that tends to create an illusion of infinitely twisted towers.
Creating a form with increase in multiple faces to facilitate maximum natural light into the building. Twisted in an axis, creating a spatial demarcation along the exterior where light and shade is experienced dynamically.
Building facing east and west side face the edge of the building so that only diffused light may enter creating a glare-free experience.

The campus, which is designed for the courses of architecture and planning, focuses on understanding and establishing an ideological philosophical approach to campus planning and design.
The aim was to create and understand the relationship of campus as a larger entity and its individual built components functioning as whole. It changes the formal learning experiences and increased interaction between students, which prove to be beneficial in the creative process.
The design focuses in identity, diversity of individuals and vastness of community. A site of 25 acres is proposed with design of insitutional buildings with student and staff housing for 80% of the strength.
