Ground floor with artificial public landscape

 

The volumetric tentacles above are containing most of the school facilities in the form of rehearsal spaces. Their shapes derived from organizing the five distinctive institutes into separate. These were placed parallel to each other but they were deformed to overlap and intersect to provide flow and connections between them. The resulting morphology is embodying the organisation of the school in that it reads and acts as a coherent whole as well as a collection of interdependent parts.

The voids are simply cut away from the existing concrete slabs while the existing columns are kept and also offer support for the newly created artificial topography made from a deformed steel grid. In this way the new morphologies are not superimposed but linked to the existing rational substructure.
