�Unbuilding- like� The only visible features are the small, free-form glass pavilion and a few skylights. FREE GEOMETRY arouses interest and to gives a picture of the activities of a school where design is taught. The building stands out from its surroundings.

�Unbuilding- like� Most of Paja's facilities are located below the parade ground level. A curved concrete stair leads from the entrance area to the exhibition and workshop facilities on the bottom floor.
K y A M K W o r k s h o p SPATIAL COMPOSITION The building does not try to adapt to the red brick context, but rather to bring a breath of fresh wind into the area. On the sizeable pedestal stands a small but brilliant jewel.
K y A M K W o r k s h o p SPATIAL COMPOSITION Its greatest merits lie in the spatial composition, which makes use of the site's level difference between the parade ground and the Maneesi yard. The workshops are mostly underground, with a glazed pavilion on the ground floor designed to showcase students’ work.
K y A M K W o r k s h o p ROOF-LIGHTS The glass partitions allow plenty of light into the long corridor, and the workshops even enjoy vistas of the parade ground, one floor higher, made possible by the periscope-like mirror arrangement of the rooflights.

COLOUR THERAPY The colorful netted sun screens of the lower floor glass facades obstruct the views, making the connection with the outside and the building opposite rather trite.
