Z DESIGN CONCEPT: THE GOLDEN SPIRAL

THE GOLDEN RATIO IS SOMETIMES CALLED THE "DIVINE

PROPORTION," BECAUSE OF ITS FREQUENCY IN
THE NATURAL WORLD. IT IS A COMMON
MATHEMATICAL RATIO FOUND IN NATURE, WHICH CAN
BE USED TO CREATE PLEASING, ORGANIC-LOOKING
COMPOSITIONS.
OBJECTIVE:
HUMAN BEINGS AND THE NATURAL WORLD COME TOGETHER AS
COMPETITORS AND PARTNERS, SOMETIMES IN TEAMS, SOMETIMES IN
SWEET ISOLATION. AND IN THEM, AN ATHLETE’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
NATURAL WORLD IS RAW, PASSIONATE AND PHYSICAL. BODY AND SPIRIT
ARE PUSHED TO THE LIMIT.

NATURE AND SPORT ARE INEXTRICABLY CONNECTED, AND NATURE’S

ROLE AND A COMPETITOR’S RESPONSE, OFTEN DECISIVE IN THE
OUTCOME OF AN EVENT. WE WANT TO CREATE A SPACE WHERE
THERE’S A BALANCE BETWEEN THE NATURAL WORLD AND BUILDING
STRUCTURES. WE AIM TO BUILD A SCHOOL WHERE STUDENTS NOT
ONLY GAIN NECESSARY SKILLS TO EXCEL IN THEIR PASSION, BUT
ALSO ACQUIRE SENSITIVITY TOWARDS NATURE.

“WE BURROW FROM NATURE THE SPACE UPON WHICH WE BUILD.”
