Stimulation - Walking on the Malls can, and should be, an aesthetic experience. Variety of building designs, of vegetation, Mall texture, sizes and volumes will contribute to an interesting perception as pedestrians move along the Malls. Orientation - By differences in color and surfaces, each part of the Mall system should tell users immediately where they are. The Malls need to provide shade for pedestrians. In spring, summer and fall, the sun is too intense for unshaded walks.
Concrete surfaces heat up during the day and act as radiators of heat.
We need to develop shadow networks, a complete pattern of trees covering the walks, so any class space can be reached from any other without unnecessary exposure to the sun. At the same time, we need to keep in mind that dark areas increase the danger to pedestrians at night, and we must provide a good lighting system across the campus.
