Northern Plaza, Monash University Clayton

T.C.L.–泰勒·卡利蒂·莱特伦：当代大学正在成为我们城市的缩影。开放空间现在不是建筑物的装饰性前场，而是以各种方式接待员工、学生和更广泛的社区；无论是开会、学习、玩耍、锻炼、聚会、吃饭、散步还是逃跑。这些社交空间服务于不断增长的学生群体，不断增加的校园居民，以及对新的全天候校园模式的响应。克莱顿位于莫纳什大学的中心，是新建成的北部广场，是毗邻校园中心的充满活力的学生中心。在学生活动的这一领域下，是互动的分层策略，创造了一幅精心策划的参与画布。在75 x 75米的框架内，北方广场在绿叶茂盛的树冠、活动草坪、BBQ、甲板、长长的文娱书桌、非正式座位、露台和连接长廊下举办露天用餐。这一充满活力的策略邀请大学群体聚集在一个充满活力的城市环境中，音乐、健身班、学生俱乐部、弹出窗口、电影和展览，或者只是闲逛，进一步丰富了环境。一个设计，说越多的生活和活动越好！
T.C.L. – Taylor Cullity Lethlean: Contemporary universities are becoming microcosms of our cities. Open spaces are now being developed not as decorative foregrounds to buildings but to host staff, students and the wider community in myriad ways; whether it is meeting, studying, playing, exercising, partying, dining, promenading or escaping. These are social spaces serving increasing student populations, rising on-campus residents, as well as responding to a new 24 / 7 activated campus paradigm. At the heart of Monash University, Clayton is the newly minted Northern Plaza- the dynamic student hub adjacent to the Campus Centre. Under-pinning this field of student activity are layered strategies for interaction creating a curated canvas of engagement. Within a 75 x 75 metre frame Northern Plaza hosts alfresco dining under a leafy canopy, event lawns, BBQs, decks, long civic scaled study desks, informal seating, terraces and linking promenades. This dynamic strategy invites the University population to come together in an animated urban setting, where music, exercise classes, student clubs, pop ups, cinema and exhibitions, or just lounging around, further enrich the setting. A design that says the more life and activity the better!
