亚利桑那大学建筑及景观设计project by: Jones Studio，Inc. name of project: The University of Arizona College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture location: Tucson，Arizona Architects:Eddie JonesNeal Jones A textbook illustration of modern, sustainable, site specific and symbolically iconographic architecture stands as an addition to the renowned University of Arizona College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.

On top of the entire edifice, there is a roof-plane conference space that affords dramatic, unobstructed views of the majestic Catalina Mountains to the north. Against the south elevation an oasis garden and pond (designed by Christine Ten Eyck) serves as a continuous research facility for the Landscape Architecture program.

Southern light is also taken advantage of, but controlled with shading devices. A screen, rising from the garden, shelters the entire southern exposure.
