ICON’s landscape concept for the Teacher’s Training Institute in Ajman was the winning entry for the landscape design competition to develop a campus with sports and recreation facilities for teachers of the institute. The landscape design is an artistic arrangement of green ellipses around a central paved oval plaza that becomes the foreground for the building, offering shaded seating, relaxation areas, celebration spaces and visual relief. Circular paved bands and shrub beds under a layer of shade trees, weave through the sports fields and the elliptical landscaped areas creating a medley of shade and light along soft and hard textures to enjoy seasonal moods of the outdoors.
