基恩州立科学中心庭院
Keene State Science Center Courtyard

Dirtworks PC：自然科学的进步是基恩州立学院学术议程的最前沿。自然科学大楼的重新设计封闭了一个8500平方英尺的庭院，并提供了一个通过景观促进教育的机会。设计团队致力于捕捉新罕布什尔州景观的基本特征，并将其提炼成该州的理想快照，创建一个户外实验室模型，为学院和社区培养地质、植物学和生态意识。Dirtworks与教员密切合作，开发用于教学的元素。铺路模式和材料说明了地质地层和天然石材类型的过程。代表岩石露头的大卵石为研究自然岩层提供了机会。植物调色板经过精心挑选，以代表新罕布什尔州本土植物区系、植物学的系统层次和植物学进化。两口井用于监测水质和地下水位。虽然与学术课程紧密相连，但庭院也为放松和灵感提供了欢乐的环境。
Dirtworks PC: The advancement of the natural sciences is at the forefront of Keene State College’s academic agenda. The redesign of the natural sciences building enclosed an 8,500 sq. ft. courtyard and provided an opportunity to promote education through the landscape. The design team worked to capture the essential character of the New Hampshire landscape and distill it into an idealized snapshot of the state, creating a model outdoor field laboratory to generate geological, botanical, and ecological awareness for the college and community. Dirtworks worked closely with the faculty to develop elements for use in teaching. Paving patterns and materials illustrate geologic strata and processes with native stone types. Large boulders, representing rock outcrops, provide opportunities to study natural rock formations. The plant palette was carefully selected to represent native New Hampshire flora, the systematic hierarchy of botany, and botanical evolution. Two wells allow for monitoring water quality and groundwater levels. While closely linked to the academic curriculum, the courtyard also offers a convivial setting for relaxation and inspiration.
