How life is influenced by physical boundaries: Campus design, part 9
The boundary of a physical space counts for a major part of our spatial experience. Several distinct typologies for spaces contribute to a campus environment that is actively used.
Car-pedestrian interactions and the parking ribbon: Campus design, part 10
Giant surface parking destroys the geometrical coherence and pedestrian connectivity of a campus. The solution lies in limiting the width of the parking without reducing the number of parking spaces.
Why we hug the edge of open spaces: Campus design, part 7
Fundamental sensory mechanisms determine how we walk in relation to built structures. This physiological basis must inform the design of pedestrian campus circulation.
