The following is a list of how space, power, precedent, order, experience, principles, site, scale, technology, and surface is applied to UNCG's campus.
[SPACE]
Campus has a puzzle piece-like organization, utilizing the space and creating harmony between where there are and aren't buildings.
[POWER][PRECEDENT][ORDER]
Power, Precedence, and Order can be seen on campus by looking at the placement and prominence of important buildings.
[EXPERIENCE]
All of the buildings on campus are constructed of similar materials, creating an awareness that each one is part of a whole. The following diagram shows the likeness of the buildings on campus. I found the pictures through google images.
[PRINCIPLES]
The architecture emphasizes the learning buildings.
[SITE]
The most important buildings on campus are in the center, almost as though they are protected by the others.
[SCALE]
Scale is shown on campus in the way that it is spread out, using the space as well as possible.
[TECHNOLOGY]
Paths through campus help minimize walking distance and to make all of the buildings easily accessible.

[SURFACE] ^^^
The campus's surface is more vertical than horizontal. It is located on a flat plane but all of the buildings shoot up off it; there are little to no one story buildings on campus.
Adrienne, I appreciate the simplistic, almost bullet point format you used to create a breakdown of the important ideas but I feel that each one of these ideas needs to be elaborated further. Also, I don't quite understand your explanation of scale, it seems that your explanation for this idea falls more readily under site. Scale has more to do with proportions and how specific entities relate to one another, and while space definitely contributes to scale, I feel you could further investigate it.
