People have Values in relation to Activities of Site / Systems:
Environment: The location of the learning space is within I would say the ring of knowledge of the university. That is, a group of building dedicated to teaching and education students. Therefore, the learning space provides a central point to which students can migrate and utilize. The building itself is surrounded by relaxing vegetation and from inside the learning space, you have uninterrupted views to the city. The combined view and landscape helps relax you before entering the space for the task ahead.

| Front-to-Back |

| Walking-Across-Space |
Contour: As like in nature the layout of the space have an uneven contour. As you can see from my photos, the user needs to twist and bend around shapes (Table-Edges) to cross from front-to-back and wall-to wall.
The narrowing of these bends would be of concern to someone with restricted mobility. even when it comes to seating at a wall table, you need to find the point where it bends in, and not out.

| A-tight-fit |
Property: There is only one-way into the space, and that is through a door position tight in a corner. A funnel is created which can hinder the movement of bodies. If people were cars they may have to beep their horns to get through. Disrupting the flow of people may touch an negative emotional response. This will not bring positive thoughts and behavior into the learning space, and turn a group against itself, or disengaged the students from the lecturer.
