The large, tapered site for the
project is bordered by a canal on the east, train tracks to
the north and a roadway on the west. Blocks of buildings along
the east and north help define the main spaces oriented to
the rest of campus, while also shielding most of the site
from train noises. The inhabitants of the far north rooms
are treated to distinctive projected windows facing east that
help buffer the sound into their rooms (see image on the last
page). The view from the canal
shows the potential that edge contains, with paths for recreation.
Perhaps further work on the canal itself will make it an aesthetic
treat, as well. |
