The architecture of the building can influence its residents, and the effect changes depending on its architecture itself as well as how it complements with the surroundings.

In specific, the architecture of the building can, and must, educate and convey ideas to the residents, in a way it fits its purpose.

Final Modeling

The building has semi-organic floor shape, but rigid and geometric vertical. The complementary of organic and geometrical shapes allows the students to experience different combinations of organic and geometric shapes, be it bizarre or revolutionary.

Ground floor plaza, with the lecture hall and library just above.

The actual 'inside' of the building is very minimum in a way as many of its rooms stick outwards from it. Such unusual design element is to convey the concept of creative thinking and encourage breaking the convention, as architect's design should not be bound by unnecessary structural stereotypes.

lecture hall

There is a heavy emphasis on the verticality in its rigid rise from the ground. the facade patterns also emphasise the verticality of this building. Architecture students should understand the ideas of verticality and suppression of it, and students realise the concept as they use this building.

Bridge to Squarehouse looks childish and artistic in a few ways. it was done so that even the smallest part of the building attempts to convey ideas to its residents, for this case being the importance of artistic sense in architecture.

There is a limitation on how much the student can see around their surroundings and environments in eye-level. The completely glazed, circular classrooms sticking outwards from the main building allows students to see their surroundings architecturally in a higher, unrestricted viewpoints.
