Design Principles for Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability
Palo Alto, CA — 2022-2023, Gehl
I helped shape over 60 design principles to guide Studio Gang and the Campus Architect in the design of the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.
MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT
I primarily contributed principles that addressed the relationship between indoors and outdoors, prioritized a sense of connection with nature, and limited new GSF. These include:
- A “village-like” approach to buildings, with small, densely gathered buildings, in order to increase proximity to the outdoors.
- Treating building facades as “ecotones” that blur the lines between the indoors and outdoors.
- Creating a “basecamp” at the heart of the school from which all field science programming would dispatch, giving the School a sense of connection to field work and the world beyond Stanford.
