Architecture is inseparable from planning, and the huge challenge for the current generation is the growth and shrinkage of cities. It is about finding new ways of ecological and economical development, using instead of reducing and maximizing rather than minimizing. Just as Google isn’t just a search engine, the new ideas of architecture are not just beautiful buildings but a key driver in the evolutionary process of society. Equally, space, then, is not simply a placeholder that allows people to move from one functional space to another. It isn’t just there because it needs to be. Building a successful city where production, administration, living, recreation and creativity co-exist in every square mile.
A decade ago, few people even recognized this was a real issue and even today it is hardly ever mentioned, which is what makes this such a radical agenda.


Instead of having the bridge and the uni as two separate components, I've incorporated the uni in the bridge; merging them together. So the bridge isn't just a bridge, and the uni isn't just a uni.
Not just that, the way the uni interacts with its environment to make the most out of the environment, and not simply 'a uni on a bridge that joins a valley'.
So not only was this a many valued choice that satisfied deveral requirements at once, but I was able to make the building more than just a space for students to study.
