( D ) BUILT MASS

The main block disappears into the earth and is half submerged to the isolating quality of the earth. Courtyards, the buffer zones create smooth transitions from the exterior, to semi covered spaces Curvilinear therapy rooms in the front with internal corridors facing open court. Dispersed circular rooms provide good air flow throughout the built form. Designed as conceptualized as an extrusion of this terraced landscape. Thus, giving a ribbon like form to the building.
