It has been an overall concept of design and planning of architecture and landscape to create a unique image of campus life by students and staffs in landscape of suburban flatness. Three primary axes of educational spine, central spine and cultural spine create a strong triangular structure of the campus. Most of the architectural and landscape elements such as pond, woods, earth mound, alley and a series of void space defined by architectural volume are arranged within this structure. The campus landscape has been matured with these elements being complementary to each other through the process of 1st to 6th stage of its development.
