Statement of the
Problem
The administration of NEUST has decided to develop the vast
land of its Gabaldon campus by proposing a Retreat Center for
the students, staffs and faculty of the university. They wanted
to have a space for recreation and relaxation where they can
get away from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives for a
period of time. A place for temporary getaway from the city. A
sanctuary where they can reconnect with nature. The propose
project is programmed for various activities specifically
highlighting the physical and mental health and wellness of every
individual. The said project will also be the venue for other group
and individual activities such as team buildings and summer
camps.

between human habitation and the natural
world through design approaches so
sympathetic and well integrated with its site

become a part of a unified interrelated
composition.
