TITLE: Visual Arts Education Facility
THEME: A carefully conscripted holistic approach where the building becomes a "living machine" seamlessly connected to nature and the campus. Art education becomes an extraordinary experience that fascinates and educates one and all. Memories are created that serve to make one fully aware of their delicate environment.
VISION: Provide a one-of-a-kind Visual Arts Education Facility that inspires artists, connects the building to the landscape and sensitively minimizes energy consumption.
