BT- Therefore we form this team, based on the understanding of what the client wants. shl- the best architect on school design, can bring us visions and highest quality design. BH- the potential of this project, can become an icon of new school design BT- all other consultants are international scaled yet rooted in HK, so can implement the visionary design by the team. We are ready to take up this challenging job and deliver the best product.

3/ Understanding of Island School

Learning Environment/ Community/

Presenter

Learning Environment/ Openness/

Presenter

BT-Also the existing IS campus had fully utilized the green site on the mid levels. The Block 5 Courtyard- is the centre of every communal spaces. We appreciate this IS campus because it provided a sequence and hierarchy of social spaces, not just one single basketball court [like any standard Y2K school] Slightly level differences between the spaces, some trees to separate the spaces…. All are good methods to encourage and invite students to use the spaces.

Learning Environment/ Green/

Presenter

Urbis- explain about the existing vegetation on site, major 4 areas: NE along borrett road Near swimming pool/ entrance Inside Block 5 courtyard Along SW slope. Explain the trees, if not really valuable can fell and plant new trees [don’t seem to be too ‘concerned’ to preserve the trees], we want the trees to enhance the campus environment, doesn’t really necessarily preserve and make us difficult.

BH/ BT- The Podium. Podium is at the level of entrance/ and deck over some big function spaces, such as Auditorium/ Theatre/ Sports Hall/ Swimming Pool Advantage: good MOE/ entry to these functional spaces directly to/from the street. forming a nice ‘street’ which walks along the slope giving a lot of seating/ gathering spaces
