Education Centre: The Core - Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners
This was an example on how a core concept is reflected back to its design. The building is a showcase of environmental responsibility and sustainability. Its form was influenced by nature and art. The design expresses an appreciation of the universal rhythms found in natural forms such as phyllotaxis (Fibonacci sequence or Natures Numbers). The spiky triangular-shaped skylights were influenced by the arrangements of a pinecone. The centre was built specifically for its location.
