Final Submission

Coming into the final stages of the assignment there's been a few hitches. Having PhotosynthToolKit transfer from lab computers and start running a bit strangely, only to realise a little bit late that the file was corrupt, however after getting a fresh version, it appeared to begin running as it should.

Final Concept
The typical university campus consists of many buildings with their own functions and meanings, connected only by the strings of a society attempting to educate it's populous. Other than that the university attempts to create an on-campus environment by running events, allowing student run societies to advertise their own hopeful, yet somewhat detached, idea of a community.

In all honesty I like societies and the community they generate but they really do segregate the university community as a whole. You have business students running off on their own commercial tangents, while the law students attempt to draw the circle of law which the former party's tangent diverges from. You then have the beer chugging engineering students who are ironically meant to make stuff work (they're still good blokes), and then the minorities of science, architecture and arts attempting to make their own way along side the titans of the aforementioned faculties, all the while leaving the med students to exist only in their exclusive cliques learning about how terribly fragile the human design is, with, I'll admit as depressing as they are, incredibly necessary aims to keep the rest of us from kicking the bucket too early because we've run head on into eachother. However, the point is that the university community is growing larger, and as it does this it separates the community on the whole. Therefore my proposed building theory is to recreate certain sections of the campus on the interior space of a dome in order to hold them together in a space, rather than allowing them to spread outwards.
