Exploring the city in a focused view point on details, spatial characteristics and human interaction, was a basis for this project.
This project brings together that medium of organisation of spaces with different scales and natures, and connects itself with the context, its infrastructure, and its users on university campus. Learning does not start or end at the gates of a campus, it is everywhere.

The initial question was that in a project of nearly urban scale, what can the city teach us about ways of creating and organizing spaces of small scale, which interacts with public and every single user of it?
