River Bend
The final structure is a series of clustered programmed spaces and courtyards situated on the edge of the river, offering a promenade for both students and community members to enjoy. The outdoor circulation invites the enjoyment of the environment, rather than forcing a journey within a conditioned space. The three lightweight steel pavilions feature a connected scupper system to utilize natural resources as sensory elements. Orientation and gabion walls accentuate natural aspects of the site, emphasizing noises of nature.
