The place anchors the community with a strong local presence and outreach program -both a contributor to the community and a receiver of the community. The vision report set forth the goals, guidelines and initial architectural character sketches for their vision. Working closely with Hafiz Holding and Fulya Sari(educational consultant) we articulated a vision that works in concert with the educational organizational goals and the physical place. Educational and architectural scope prioritize connection to the environment, encouragement of curiosity & sharing, employment of advanced technology for learning settings, and knowledge creation of centuries in astronomy, math, storytelling,energy and philosophy. The master plan will suggest a ‘journey’ in a complex of interlinked courts + gardens, each with a unique sense of place interlinked with inviting streets.
