School of Architecture 5th year final project publication

This project intends to establish an appropriate, unified variety of spatial aesthetic s at the mix-use urban site of Nanjing, China. To be occupied by South East University community and the neighborhood community, the site will function as both circulatory connection between SEU campuses and as activity destinations. The project is not meant to be a contemporary monument or center of attractions. This is not an eye-candy. Combining perception, intuition, and analysis, the design is the manifestation in the interplay of various contrasting forces in the urban context, reinforcing ordering relationships among the physical environment, people’s interaction with one other and the environment, and one’s perception of an aesthetic order. It is a shift from nouns to verbs, addressing not just the objects that occupy the site but, more importantly, the processes through which they interrelate and the ways in which people interact with them over time.
