Abstract

Linking outdoor spaces for educational and entertainment activities using ecological approach demands great deal of sensitivity and creativity. The project’s strategy is to minimize the impacts to the environment through a corridor of riparian habitat as the primary spine across the site. It connects nature and the built form in order to inspire an edu-tainment experience shaped by the different spaces along the corridor for users. Being a central connector, the riparian corridor also serves as a natural drainage system collecting and discharging excess surface water flow from the surrounding area, making it more conducive for the intended purpose. Besides, the use of natural material for hardscape construction further emphasizes the intention.
