Circulation Pattern

The landscape is structured into a series of outdoor areas on the basis of visitor circulation and architectural function. The one-sided entry into the site was a key constraint for circulation.

Runoff Management

The surface run-off management strategy was proposed as an exten sion of the landscape design. Runoff was diverted towards the lower slopes by careful land grading, keeping ex isting trees in mind, into storm drains with recharge pits.

Excess volumes were dispersed into the low-lying area on site in the South-East, from where it was known to percolate into a pond outside the site.so
