The design of the building emulates the valley in which it is set within the green fabric. The curved lines of the topography were enough to define the limits of the building. The recessed platforms of varying levels transform the building into a space for possibilities. The inner and outer galleries, courtyards, and low gardens resolve the daylight problem that can occur due to the increasing building depth as we descend to the lower floors. While they provide daylight for the interior space, the common areas of use also attain their own, unique character. The common areas are transformed into the platform of the flowing space and give a structural response to coexistence, thereby reinforcing the characteristics of uniqueness.  In addition to classrooms, laboratories, the auditorium, and teacher rooms, auxiliary units and circulation areas connecting them also assume their places among these characteristic spaces.
