The Folly I have chosen is derived from one of the 18 perspectives (shape B.), but has been altered in a way to adjust and fit comfortably into side of the architectural school.
The folly is not only a place to meet or retreat to but also an adjustable extension of the bridge and school. The folly allows students and staff to vacate the main building/bridge to retreat to open fields of grass, a beautiful view of the lake and as much space as possible allowing one to think and relax.
The detraction of the folly also allows access from the main land onto the green roof of the main building, another area of retreat.

The Other Moving Elements
The bridge design (which is talked about move in the 'Final Architecture' section) main primary goal was for a connection between the research, studio and lecture facilities to the an area of relaxation, quite study or a place to just eat or read.
The bridge which drops off down under the water; nestles away from site and opens to a water level grid stone layout. Configured from the grid layout talked about previously, based on ideas of simplicity, aesthetic value and form from the concept mashup. The grid stone tiles change slowly through the day, altering to the change of sun position to create new spots through the day to nestle away from shade. The function also allows for students to expose students and staff to perhaps different layouts which could potentially create or alter new thoughts in the constantly changing environment.
