Shallcross Hall Philadelphia
An innovative design proposal for Friends Central unfolds as a synthesis of building and landscape design. New building elements and outdoor gathering spaces are seamlessly woven into the surroundings, creating a harmonious environment. The design integrates rainwater and solar collection systems, actively engaging with the environment to impart the importance of coexisting with nature. This project stands as a unique opportunity to use architectural design as a medium for teaching and reinforcing environmental learning within a school setting.
