This paradigm encourages academic success through flexible study areas, professional development opportunities, and collaborative workspaces; it also emphasizes eco-friendly practices, smart technologies, and inclusive, accessible environments. Universities may foster a vibrant, encouraging campus community, improve student life, and promote well-being by including students in the planning and executing of social activities.

CONCEPT :

It’s crucial to take into account the requirements and preferences of both the cafe patrons and the residents of a cafe that can also serve as a residence. The term “ADAPTIVE REUSE” refers to the process of repurposing a building or area to suit a new use while retaining some of its original characteristics. This is how you can accomplish this. It’s important to create a warm and friendly environment that makes guests feel at home. This can be done by using cosy seating, cosy lighting, and a warm colour palette. When it comes to residential building, the rectangular shape can be adaptable and useful. You may design a home that seems both useful and aesthetically beautiful by taking into account elements such as balance, flexibility, natural light, outdoor living, and minimalist design.
