The aim of this project was to present a landscape design proposal for the rooftop terrace of the College of Art and Design building in Kyunghee University. The design is based on the contemporary concept of “coworking” in order to encourage multidisciplinary development of projects among students of different fields within the college. This design suggested an inclusive programming strategy for an inspiring outdoor environment. With the assumption that the successful development of a landscape project relies on the collaboration between nature and humans from different specialties, this design attempted to improve the link described above and to stimulate, through the designed setting, a living environment. The main concept was inspired by the relationship between the common honeybees (Apis mellifera), which represent social insects, and their relation with flowers. The honeycomb- shaped (hexagonal) modular unit enables various forms of the process of collaboration among the students, which provides a sense of place and an aesthetic value to the site as a whole. In addition, the site is composed of three floor levels, which are meant for different functions according to the level of intensity of activity. The first level is divided into two areas, one meant for low intensity activity (secret garden) and the second one meant for medium intensity activity (a space for meeting and conversation). The second level is designated for more diverse activities, and therefore, the intensity of activity would be higher. The third level was planned as a planting experiment zone with a medium level of activity. Considering the intention of the place to improve the physical and mental well-being of students and teachers through physical interaction with nature, this design proposal is expected to inspire other professionals who deal with similar contexts, such as, and in particular, a college environment with diverse disciplines or any type of rooftop garden in an urban context.
