The Thinking Path is anchored by the concept of exercising your mind and body daily along the 'thinking path' which takes visitors on a journey through nature from amongst the trees around the pavilion all the way to the planting rooftop on top of the research centre, offering views of the entire site. The design reacts to the problems of modern, unbalanced, super-processed diets by providing a centre for research and education into producing nutritious, sustainable, balanced diets. Alongside this, the scheme features a library and courtyard for reading, thinking and observing as well as a wellness centre encouraging a balanced lifestyle for employees and visitors to escape the stresses of everyday modern life
