The main architectural gesture was to keep the slope of the ground, and to negate the boundaries between hard scape and soft scape. Paved surfaces were minimized and used only as circulation, while effort was made to enlarge the existing earthen surfaces, flat or sloped, and to engage them as continuous play areas.
