Missing link between the intersection and building16and the landscaped palm grove - better linkage wouldrender all these spaces usable An area for potential development that

would force the usage of this facility

Important access point - Need for effecient hard and soft landscaping

SPATIAL ANALYSIS AND MOVEMENT PATTERN

Potential hot spot for croud pullingdevelopment and landscaping

An area needing immediate attension,landscaping and retainment of the rock hill

The pedestrian walkways need

A dull court fronting the library- needs planters that could alsoshade various zones, elligent pavement that go with the fountain

An intersection with high pedestrianmovement - requiring organized pavement & landscaping/planters

O d l k bj i The pedestrian walkways needreorganization, need to be integerated with effecient land--scaping and pavment patterns

Enterance to the auditorium notbold enough to match or go withthe function of the building

Landscaped area requiring immediateretainment and better landscaping

Outdoor area lacks objectivelandscaping

The lake needs redesign, maintenance and a better development plan

The entry to the prestigious research facilty needs to be enhanced - the lighting and landscaping should bemerged with outdoor seating

The out door space and pedestrian movement pattern analysis of the KFUPM academic complex displays a loosely knit patternof connections. Various out door areas seem to be meaning less and could be developed to be used as valued spaces. An overall improvement in the whole outdoor environment is needed for better value.

CONCEPT:The presentation in form of a collage addresses urban design issues and concerns that are evident from the analysis. Proposal for the y penhancement of the overall KFUPM academic complex outdoors is presented with the basic design concepts described below

Reclaim the lost spaces

Identify & develop various hot-spots that would allow better movement, interaction & usage of the outdoors

Enhance the appearance of the built environment such that an ambience of learning, sharing knowledge and valueduniversity experience for the KFUPM community is created

Pargola over the auditorium enterance and a flooring pattern emphasizes the enterance

ART WORK OF GENERAL NATURE MADE OF STONE, CAST IRON, STEEL ETC. CANBE PLACED AT KEY LOCATIONS WHILE SCULPTURES RELATED TO ACADEMICS COULD BEALLOCATED POSITIONS ALONG THE MOVEMENTS BATHS TO BUILDINGS. PLACEMENT OFART WORK RELATED TO THE SUBJECT THE BUILDING IS RELATED TO WOULD PHYSICALLYINTRODUCE THE BUILDING BEFORE ONE ENTERS THE ENCLOSURE.

Key location for a general nature art work thatwould merge with the landscaping

ART WORK AND SCULPTURE

The engineering field/science area that thebuilding supports can be introduced by suchsculptured models and artwork

Examples of general art work that can beplaced in the key locations in the complex

Various locations that could be ideal spots for subject/generalnature art work

OUTDOOR LIGHTING CONCEPT

OUTDOOR SEATING INTEGERATED WITH THE LANDSCAPE

Integeration of light weight seating in the landscape

Exterior post lighting with single and multiple dome lights composed and placed according to spatial hierarcy of proximity to buildings - Single dome lights to be placed along all the exposed pathways

Outdoor low post lighting and the pre-fabricated low height light blocks to be placed on all the landscaped edges & pedestrian walkways

Below grade spot lights around all thepalm trees to dimly lighten up the landscape & be a prominant feature

FOR EASY LOCATION AND BETTER MOVEMENT OFVISITORS ALONG THE ACADEMIC COMPLEX, SIGNAGESAND SITE MAPE OF VARIOUS SCALE CAN BE PLACEDON THE WALLS OF VARIOUS BUILDINGS. TO KEEP UPWITH THE COLOR AND TEXTURE OF THE BUILDINGS,THE SITE MAP WOULD BE COLORED IN BLACK & WHITEON 18 MM BEWEL EDGED GLASS SHEETS AND PINNEDWITH EXPOSED STEEL SCREWS
