BP # 3

Space - Occupies a large area, mostly flat land. Trees create a pathway for a sense of direction throughout the campus and also for protection. Emphasizes the wealth of the campus.

Power - Some building contain columns to emphasize the power and solidity of the building and support the large structure; makes it seem more structurally sound. Other buildings have stacks to represent the hierarchy involved and express power through the repetition. Boundaries are created by trees for protection by giving the impression of being tall and strong; strength in numbers.

Experience - Buildings are earth tones and the campus is decorated with trees, giving it a natural feel and appearance. Since the land is pretty flat travel is simple and the trees serve as a reliable guide. Taller buildings suggest more effort and climbing to get around. The set up of the campus makes it easy to decipher the way you progress throughout.

Principles - The way the campus is designed it seems that any important business or political dealings are decided equally and based on the agreement of the majority of individuals. Religion is free-flowing and based upon choice.

Precedent - Based on the layout of the campus the precedent appears to be equal and laws, rules, etc. are decided upon an even vote where majority is favored. Also, the different size and scale of the buildings imply that though most decisions are majority ruled some resolutions are reached by going to a higher authority who has more power than the mass.

Order - The authoritative direction throughout the campus is majority ruled as determined by the mostly leveled plains. But, due to the difference in height and size of the buildings it can be determined that there are some exceptions to the majority rule and that there are higher authority figures that regulate all final discussions and decisions.

Scale - Buildings are built to express its importance throughout the community; Larger buildings are used more often by the population. In the center details become more elaborate and columns are used to emphasize the size and structure.

Technology - Throughout the campus technology is in abundance and can been seen throughout each building. Computers, cars, etc. are used to increase the knowledge of the population and provide an easier way to get around and obtain knowledge and power.

Surface - The campus is flat for the most part which creates a sense of equality around. Makes it easy for travel and going through the campus area. Taller buildings create a hierarchy throughout the campus and creates a more uneven (mountainous) balance throughout.
