-
a SPIRAL path applied on the folly to let users see the view of the zen design while heading to the dean's room
-
a MOVEMENT design of the mirror finished stainless steel sheet by bending it randomly created a HIERARCHY of height which act as a way directing factors for the users
-
REPETITION of the stainless steel sheet created hierarchy and interesting reflections of the object under it
-
NATURAL element used to create a warmer space that reflects the characteristic of the dean which shows that dean is not a cool person
-
DATUM arrangement of the 3 colored steel rod will attract the visitors in FAB
-

concept
The design concept begins by solving the problems encountered at the site. The visual of the direction to the Dean's room is blocked by a wall which is located beside the existing staircase. Moreover, the Dean's room does not portray any welcoming sense to attract the visitors.
