THE
SITE PLAN
The fundamental feature of the design is the integration of nature and the advancement of technology. Technology is the facilitator to the drawing out of the “truth” from nature, which, by the standards of the design team, should be nurtured and protected so that it may procure knowledge. Therefore, the natural landscape is maintained in the design proposal
Although distinct, the four districts all maintain a dedication to public space and the city center – the Realm of Discovery. The “city center” is an element that is intended for use by all visitors, both for the University and the surrounding neighborhood. Technology Park is designed to become an extension of the city, a microcosm that opens the relationship of technology and nature beyond the University and into the community. The programmatic flexibility in the development of the site represents research and developmental facilities that are not closed off to the public and provide optimism for innovation and discovery in future generations.
