architectural concept

The architecture of the building is inspired by wisdom, which combines people and the resources they use to achieve a common goal. The building is distinguished by its compact land use and strong club, which reflects light and invites exploration with its academic content.

Volumetrically, the building was divided into several “links”, which expresses the COHERENCE being created between different parts of the field. The necessary building functions are placed in a logical structure under the shell of the “links”. The central part of the building remains a flowing and soft, adjacent and open interior that opens itself to nature, various activities and experiences., mis väljendab loodavat SIDUSUST valdkonna eri osade vahel. “Lülide” kooriku alla on paigutatud loogilises struktuuris vajalikud hoone funktsioonid. Hoone keskosasse jääb voolav ja pehme, külgev ja avatus sisesüst, mis avab ennast loodusele, erinevatele tegevustele ja elamustele.
