This project reminds us that although spatial habitus and territories have a patiently sedimented history,that history is not fixed.While remembering itself,the project is called upon to reinvent itself in new forms appropriate to the theme and the territory,and its strength lies in a form of typological research applied to the academic teaching space.Notable for its fundamental singularity,the building has a spatial signature that lies in a reversal,placing outside what is usually in the center,bringing people together in a way similar to an atrium or foyer of orthodox academic buildings.The project insists on the factual values of the device,in search of a working environment that favors interaction and stimulation.Making a major place for informal meeting spaces and autonomous spatial appropriations is a manifesto on the aims of academic teaching.Here,learning and research are primarily collective and collaborative activities.Or to describe it in a nutshell:a study climate.
