As a core design team member, I was responsible for developing a context specific , robust, yet modern design concept for the new campus in Dubai. The built form is the result of intersection of two sets of clearly defined volumes. The outer volume, more opaque and robust, has the formal classrooms. The inner volume, more transparent, houses the collaboration and amenities. The outer volume creates a protective barrier from the harsh climate, for the shaded courtyards resulted from the intersections.
