Given that we're trying to tie a number of buildings together into a campus, physica l as well as psychological accessibility is critical. Physical accessibility can be created through a number of means. Accessibility for less-abled persons can be accomplished through the use of elevators and escalators, for instance. If you fill the entire space with stairs, the site does not appear physically accessible. Vertical walls are not psychologically accessible.
Psychological accessibility is critical.
Looking from one edge of the site to the other, one needs to feel like he or she can cross it. View opportunities on this site are very exciting. The physical position of being on a balcony and overlooking the site can also help create psychological accessibility. One of the first things we are looking at is using the same, distinct paving all the way through. This might be distinguished by color or maybe by stone.
