Proposed Landscape Design for Existing M-Power Library & Study Center at Govandi (E)
The proposed design is intended as an extension of the existing building and existing use of the building. The areas designed wraps themselves around the existing building and keeps the building at the center of all activities. The idea to provide a front court is to provide visitors a sense of arrival as well as foreground to the structure. Also the front court along with the rear court try to extend the spaces concentrated around the central courtyard. The new landscape design helps to spread the function of the existing building to all around the building and the site.
