Update on design of 'the cave'

section of the site I am designing for now

the backside of the long building will bifurcate down into a sports seating area that looks down to the sports fields

Update 9-4-2011

I made developments of the design which includes a new building as well as a redesign of the courtyards. i realize that the design previously had no effective way of providing shading from Thailand's hot climate. The strategy that I used to deal with this is to add a new buliding to provide shading passively. Also, the courtyard is now more pronounced.

The new long building is added. This is consistent with my concept of 'immersible pathway' Previously, I felt that there is no choice provided for the users as buildings are located at controlled points. However, the new building links and integrates all learning system together.
