Universal design approach will be a fundamental design approach to all landscape areas and public spaces within the development.  We aim to apply the 7 principles of Universal Design very early on in the conceptual phase to ensure these objectives are carried through the project.  Our believe is simple: the project must always consider the diverse needs and abilities for all potential users at all levels of the design and construction process.  Environmentally conscious design will also be a fundamental design principle from early concept stages through to construction build-out.  Our goal for this site is to push the boundaries of sustainable and ecological design, to integrate these principles into the built form at both the system-level as well as the detailed design level.  Strategies include but are not limited to: promoting visual green architecture (green screens, green roofs) to educate visitors and to reduce heat island affect; maximizing permeable landscapes and tree canopy to enhance rain water absorption, retention and re-use on site; promote local flora and fauna to facilitate ecological connections and habitat for wildlife; reduce, re-use and recycle materials during and after construction, using locally-sourced and durable materials wherever possible.  Regarding multi-culturalism, our goal would be to celebrate the diversified history of Nagasaki, at the local, regional and national level.  Outdoor spaces will be programmed to accommodate a range of seasonal events that celebrate the site's past history, and to ensure these stories are told in a create and unique way.  The site's culture past will also inform and inspire the various materials used on-site to enhance place identity and "ownership" for all users.
