The temple resembles that of a song dynasty monastery known as the Sangharama five-hall style where five main halls are arranged along a central north - south axis. the pagoda plaza sits in the heart of Longhua district and is enclosed by residential and commercial buildings to the west that have failed to urbanize due to intersecting metro transits (Line 11/12) at its foundation, hindering economic growth at an otherwise wealthy and robust urban culture.

The cloister encompasses the monastery qualities of the temple dating back to the Song dynasty. Its resemblance to that of a karamon marks the entrance to a sacred space.

Despite the prominence of this campus landmark and its role of being a node of pedestrian circulation for the southeast side of campus, the mall is underwhelming and underutlized. A large portion of the site drains into the combined sewer system (CSO) as the Wabash expriences dozens of combined sewer overflow events every year. The design solution seeks to take the site completely off the CSO in reducing sewage overflow events. The lack of idenitity needed to cement Agriculture Mall as Purdue’s beloved outdoor spaces saw the introduction of green infrastructure technologies, transforming the mall into an outdoor laboratory to help reconnect the site to the rest of campus.

Immersing visitors to a variety of rugged and raw outdoor experiences that inspires multi-sensory engagement through the seasons whilst introducing unique green infrastructure opportunities that strengthen the community’s connection to the environment. The new found concept stitch together trails that rip through steep hillside of deciduous forests, riparian woodland corridors, stream bank expansions, and wildlife experiences for every skill level. Including technical, advanced, intermediate and beginner trails for all abilities. Steeper, longer, rockier trails for pro riders embrace the rugged contours of the terrain, descending and ascending from the valley floor, the parks orientation hubs. The orientation hubs seek to connect people socially with large and small gathering areas surrounding key program elements that help forge a wealth of educational nodes for park visitors.
