Concept:
• Pixel scape is the green spirit of the campus which offers the students green fresh zones with
different functions that support them through their learning process.
• The concept 'pixel' is derived from the elevations of the surrounding buildings and the urban fabric form of the site which is squares with grid.

Form generation:
we planned the grid of squares out of the old main path creating secondary paths that link our pixels scape's zones.
The different zones are:
1. A gallery for the best student projects. The gallery is generated from extrusion of pixels from different hardscape and softscape materials that create a dynamic form.
2. Group work zone: with furniture designed with extruded pixels that help students work on large paper size.
3. Recreational zone: with Ping-Pong tables, chess game and furniture designed in the form of common games.
4. food court and booth zone.
5. Maze structure zone: pixels are shown on a vertical grid with different extrusions creating seating and tables for student social and asocial activities.
