c. DESIGN SOLUTION
(1) Basic Spatial Organization. This solution is developed around the parallel organization scheme.
Two linear spines are created parallel to each other, following the long dimension of the site as shown
in Figure 6-9. The academic-staff area is developed along one spine and the vocational training shops
are located along the other. Parking is located near the main entrance to the academic spaces with
service access extending to the north side of the vocational training spaces.

(2) Example Plan. The academic-staff building is organized into two basic functional zones as
shown in Figure 6-10; staff and support spaces are grouped around an interior court at the main
entrance and academic spaces are grouped around the lecture room and science lab. The student
lounge and the toilets are located near the main entrance and adjacent to the primary circulation flow
between the academic building with the vocational training shops. The student lounge is oriented
toward an outdoor terrace and landscaped instructional area between the two parallel buildings. Visual
experiences are created in the circulation spaces of the academic-staff building by use of curved walls,
proportional variation, and natural greenery to establish focal points and visual rhythm. The basic 25 x
30 ft module is used for the academic-staff spaces with the 30 x 50 ft module utilized for the vocational
shops.
