Dear Paul Smale,
Your idea of recapitulating the courtyard as a more engaging entity is quite interesting and very good. However it could be elaborated in a way to enhance the 'incorporation' as you said so, by human experience. In this regard, I suggest you bring this idea to a more elaborated level. Meanwhile, the institutional level and the public level could have at least some interactions, so that they are not completely separated. This can underline your main idea. I'm sure you'll find an interesting way..
Also, the building axis can be elongated with certain functions to smoothly connect STU's institutional identity to the city. Please think about human experience point of view, and the activities that will perfectly fit.
Wishing you all the best,
Sincerely,
Banu
