To accomodate the wind into the structure for the maximum the higher parts of the form is kept at the rare end of the wind direction.

Internal Circulation of academic block

The coridoors of the academic block overlook the common courtyard, hence having a distinguishable character.

Transition spaces between build forms. To avoid the chances of negative silence, these spaces are placed connecting widely used plaza spaces. Since the block are twisted, an oblique pathway from the main entrance provides a frontal approach. A new comer to the location will first encounter the three spaces of use to them.

Straight pathways are easily accessible for the visually impaired and helps to creative a cognitive map.
