The design envisions education as a dynamic social process. Instead of isolating learning into classrooms, it integrates activity along a continuous spatial necklace—a series of forums that link interior atriums, terraces, and gardens. Movement itself becomes a form of engagement, blurring boundaries between study, rest, and collaboration.
Architecturally, the building balances solidity and transparency. Vertical façade divisions echo neighboring structures, while acting as sun-shading shutters to reduce glare and overheating. The public spaces animate the façades, bringing light, rhythm, and presence to the campus skyline. The result is a civic and symbolic anchor for the university’s future.
