An inward looking built form has been devised using interactive juxtaposition of simple masses creating a sense of activism and contemplation – a fire within. An entrance plaza is fashioned by strategically raising certain masses.
The fragmented massing around a courtyard forms a central green relief space. Taller massing towards the South West ensures that this public zone stays shaded.
Additionally the courtyard is designed to act as a source of diffused natural light to the interior spaces.
An indigenous sculptural feature wall has been devised with an inscribed abstraction of the poet’s most admired poem.
