  4. SYNOPSIS The concept for the building design came together in the courtyards. While the buildings on either side separate the working areas of students and faculty, the courtyards were designed to promote interaction and leisure between the two. The strong diagonal, channels a breeze through the center. The waterfalls and low pools bring the eye to the central staircase. The long treads invite for sitting, and the bright yellows and reds were inspired by pre-Columbian cultures, an ode to the large Latin-American population. fig. 2 Courtyards, pre-Columbian inspired staircase.
