We assume that as is usual in universities the world over each building within the campus will have a name. Often a wealthy Benefactor or a famous Alumnus(a) or a famous personality in respect to the function of the building. Our intention is to incorporate this thinking into the design with each buildings name plaque introduce the story. This will act as the introduction and initiate the discovery.



The Discovery will begin with the use of Artwork placed in the prominent focal point of each building. The discovery will continue and be implemented into the main focal points of the interior with: 3 dimensional geometry of the interiors; Wall finishes and geometry; Floor Finishes and geometry and Limited Specific Furniture and Fittings. Everything in life is a journey with a start, an evolution and an end, while our themed concept will start with the introduction followed by the discovery and ending with recognition.



“Any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational.” ”No inherent quality of material or geometry will be wasted” ”The Foundation of Technology is the basics of science and nature.” ”All that is beautiful in Nature has a function. In Nature there is no decoration.”-- This is the foundation of the interior design theory for this building. We intend to achieve beauty and splendor through, Materials Honesty, Raw Finish Texture & Colour and Contemporary Geometry.



In this case, designing is for Education and specifically Technological Education and Research. The Concept Theory must provide a method to provide cohesion in intellectual design which ties all components of the project together under one roof. This Intellectual cohesion may be literal or better it should be implied. Perhaps no other ancient culture has contributed more to this advancement of human technological progress than the Chinese. Our Intellectual Concept Foundation is the Ancient Chinese Inventions that with the aid of the Compass traveled the world influencing multiple cultures.
