I love the openness, the pattern on the outside wall from solid and open space, and how the trees create a light, semi-transparent foliage canopy.  I played with the Idea of the courtyard space in early iterations of my thesis, it’s a space that creates a boundary, but is flexible enough for multiple activities to happen in… If only Edmonton’s climate allowed for spaces like this to be used all year long, I could see rec centers or libraries using these.
