Abstract

The KAED Courtyards, located within the Faculty of Architecture and Environmental Design, serve as essential outdoor areas for academic, social, and recreational activities. However, the existing courtyards face issues of limited functionality, lack of comfort, and underutilisation, which this initiative seeks to reconfigure Courtyards A and B into inclusive, polyvalent environments. The project aims to upgrade Courtyard A and Courtyard B of KAED into inclusive, multifunctional environments that encourage interaction, relaxation, and creative engagement among students, staff, and visitors. The objectives are to introduce climate-responsive design strategies, enhance social connectivity, and integrate sustainable features such as recycled materials and outdoor gym facilities. This alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities ensures the creation of inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable green public spaces for all. The method involves site analysis to assess spatial challenges, literature review to explore best practices in courtyard design, and precedent studies of similar academic spaces to guide effective solutions. The outcomes are design proposals that emphasise environmental comfort, multifunctional use, and opportunities for income generation. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to transform the KAED Courtyards into dynamic, sustainable, and engaging hubs that enrich both academic and social experiences within the KAED community.
