to open, to bend, to extend
artistic education thrives on experimentation, where knowledge emerges through action and process. this project translates that ethos into spatial transformation. conceived as an open territory, it blurs the boundaries between faculty and city. curved vertical walls redefine limits, seamlessly connecting interior spaces with the surrounding garden and urban context. the new buildings frame the historic palace and garden, emphasizing a welcoming entrance from the city into the university. inside the new volumes, an iterative structural matrix balances order and flexibility. the result is a cohesive campus where art, nature, and learning converge within an open, living system.
