� Transparency and Visual Connectivity<br />

The master plan emphasizes physical and visual connections between indoor and<br />

outdoor environments. Facades are articulated with transparent materials, while<br />

circulation is brought to the edges of buildings. Terraces and student life programs<br />

are strategically situated along southern facades to capture sunlight, activate<br />

building edges, and negotiate the transition between the indoor and outdoor<br />

spaces.<br />
