The primary concept for my design of the education centre was to create a "heart space" to the overall site on what is the St Radigund’s, Canterbury Carpark. The education centre would act as an origin point on the site, where all routes through the site would intersect.
While the river and surrounding roads, have benefits of zoning and creating a sense of security, they also create island spaces not easily permeable. In order to allow for relaxed access onto the site a new bridge, or "Garden over the Stour" is situated orthogonally north from the education centre.
