For a long time, the term “Ivory Tower” was a building metaphor that summed up the way art schools were in their own intellectual world. At the same time, it also describes the way universities interacted with the built environment around them — in a place but apart from it. But not anymore. This art school promotes a more socially engaged educational model so that the public can be more engaged with student work when they can easily see artworks or students presenting their work.

The aim of project is to design an art school that provides conducive environment for art education at tertiary level and highly encourages interaction between art, student and the public. It joins the dots between artists, education and the public, nurturing the internal world of those artists but enabling them to see the external world, and perhaps allowing them to move more seamlessly from art school into the world.
