Our concept of growth from fractal geometry was changed to the idea of binary fission where a cell would split by itself to ‘make’ more cells, & thus grow into a tissue, which in turn grows to become an organ and then becoming a body. So why is growth important in SP? Students come to SP to not just for studying, but to learn & grow. Growth can occur in many ways. Apart from academic growth, we want to allow growth of many other sorts to occur. Growing while doing sports, growing by reading, growing by communication with others. Growth develops a student from ‘being simple to complex’ (deepening the way students think and view).

How to draw student’s attention? Why concourse & not library, classroom or canteen? We want to provide a free space that still has a certain level of enclosure. Most importantly, the space is very fluid, and we want this space to encourage interaction while the feeling of enclosure still exists. The fluidity concept does not just exist in the form, but also in how the space flows from interior to exterior. The space is free enough for anyone to seat anywhere. There is no restrictions as to which is a certain seating area. In other spaces like the library & classrooms, seats & tables are fixed, boundaries are fixed, thus in here, the space is unique because we try to keep the level of constraints to the minimal.
