WHY THE COURTYARD SITE ? 1 - AD2 1- PRESENCE OF THE VENTURI EFFECT ABOVE THE SITE. 2 - AD1
3 - STUDENT CENTER
4 - STUDENT CENTER
2- SITE HAS A COURTYARD CONDITION WITH CIRCULATION HAPPENING AROUND IT. 3- SITE IS UNPROTECTED FROM THE HARSH SUN AT NOON. 4- CURRENT SITE CONDITIONS (BENCHES) DO NOT MAKE MUCH USE OF THE SITE OPPORTUNITIES IT PROVIDES. 5- LOCATION OF SITE IS NEAR CAAD LABS, THEREFORE IT IS EASY TO FABRICATED AND TRANSPORT MATERIALS. 6- BASED ON OBSERVATIONS, STUDENTS GO THERE TO RELAX DESPITE THE CURRENT SITE CONDITIONS.
