The emergent properties of an existing thing, living or inanimate, are defined and established by immesurable factors. It is with intent and deliberate purpose, that a framework is set in which attributes  are established. It is an architect’s duty to understand and utilize these principals to help realize a space that serves to perform not only for the user, but the public at large, thus generating a space that has a framework that establishes properties emergent to the individual user. In an attempt to achieve such a space, the intent to introduce a component that will help mediate the flow of movement of people and ideas was thus realized. The ramp, emerging from the floor, splits the flow of movement, providing a duality of experience.

Simultaneously, two experiences exist to help inform the campus as a whole, what the UHGBC ultimately hopes to provide the university, as well as informing campus of their current progress and achievements. This dynamic provides an interaction between student, building, and campus and creates a dialogue between user and visitor.
