on ourRADAR HUGO BOSS names Chris Hemsworth first global brand ambassador for BOSS
MESSIKA OPENS FOUR NEW BOUTIQUES Having opened boutiques in Beijing, Macau and Hong Kong in turn in the autumn of 2020, Messika is expanding its footprint and bringing a new diamond aesthetic to Asian ladies and jewelry-lovers. BEIJING The first Messika boutique in the AsiaPacific region officially opened in SKP Beijing on October 1st, 2020, covering an area of 17 square meters, with Messika’s iconic collections, including Move, Glam’Azone, and My Twin, on display alongside a host of High Fashion Jewelry pieces in an elegant and enchanting showroom. The sparkle of diamonds perfectly reflects Messika’s stylish charm: modern, bold, avant-garde and dynamic.
8 Starting this year, actor Chris Hemsworth, best known for his role as Thor, will be the first Hollywood star to be appointed new global brand ambassador for BOSS. In this role, he will be the international BOSS face of the worldwide fashion campaigns planned for 2021 and 2022. Hemsworth has already been collaborating with HUGO BOSS on the iconic BOSS Bottled scent since 2017. By expanding this partnership, the Group is ensuring a globally consistent BOSS brand image that will bridge various product groups. The generated synergies will also further enhance the brand's appeal. "I've been a huge BOSS fan for a long time, so I'm really happy to now represent the brand's collections as global ambassador. Our partnership over the past few years has been absolutely brilliant. I’m very excited to be working more closely with the BOSS team," said Chris Hemsworth. Yves Müller, Managing Board Spokesman at HUGO BOSS AG, stated, "We are proud that, in Chris, we have been able to secure a world-class star who is a perfect fit for our BOSS brand. He embodies a contemporary take on success and masculinity. Chris perfectly exemplifies the modern man of today: self-confident, authentic and approachable. His global fame will further augment the BOSS brand's desirability going forward." With the appointment of Chris Hemsworth – a passionate surfer who epitomizes a well-balanced lifestyle – the Group is taking another step in its casualization process of the BOSS brand. This will also be reflected in the direction the new campaign will take. In addition to his career as an actor, Chris Hemsworth is a dedicated environmentalist, and strategically leverages his popularity to draw attention to climate change and species protection. More than 45 million followers on Instagram demonstrate that he has become a role model for younger generations. The first campaign featuring Chris Hemsworth will begin in Spring 2021. The partnership will also see the launch of a joint BOSS capsule collection with a sustainability focus. With this collection, HUGO BOSS underlines its leading role as a sustainable company within the textile industry.
MACAU After opening the SKP Boutique in Beijing, Messika went on to unveil its Wynn Palace Boutique in Macau, China. The store covers an area of 30 square meters. In a departure from its other boutiques, Messika’s store design has made use of golden elements for the first time here, subtly echoing the main hue of Wynn Palace Casino. French elegance blends harmoniously with the charms of this ‘garden by the sea’, affording visitors the ultimate sensory experience in luxury.
HONG KONG Embracing Messika’s signature elegance and modern lines, the Messika boutique in Harbour City, Hong Kong, strikes a delicate balance between soothing colors, choice materials and eye-catching design. With a sales floor of approximately 65 square meters, the store is the largest Messika boutique in Asia, and each unique diamond in the window display has been transformed into an exquisite work of art, inviting visitors to explore a fascinating world of jewelry. NEW YORK CITY Following the recent openings of its first U.S. boutiques in Los Angeles and Miami, Messika will open doors to a third location in New York City, on December 2020. The 93 square meters boutique, located in the beautiful neighborhood of Hudson Yard, was designed by the founder of the house Valérie Messika. In the entrance, the customer is immersed in the universe of the brand. Symmetry of design, transparency of windows, marble floors and black color details, Valérie Messika creates a magical environment for her jewelry collections. www.theciin.com

Tissot Seastar 1000 Professional In-depth excellence
In 2019, the most robust and secure Tissot watch was launched in an uncompromising environment. A limited edition of 1,000, the Tissot Seastar 1000 Professional fully satisfies the criteria of the ISO 6425 standard governing professional diving watches. All the conditions specified by the standard are validated by this all-steel automatic chronograph: it resists a magnetic field of 4,800 A/m and lateral impacts, including on its crowns and push-buttons. It is equipped with a luminescent small second hand and revolving bezel that can be locked into place. Although its water resistance is guaranteed up to 300 metres (or 1,000 feet, the reason behind its name), the ISO 6425 standard demands resistance of up to 375 metres in depth. Challenge accepted! Patented security The Tissot Seastar 1000 Professional also has a helium valve at 10 o’clock. It is automatically opened to expel excess air and helium that are trapped in the case and dilated when coming up from a very deep saturation dive. It is integrated into the secondary crown that secures the bezel. Once screwed down, the 60-minute graduated ring is locked into the defined position. This guarantees that the chosen immersion time cannot be inadvertently or accidentally changed during the dive. This combination of functions is unique and protected by a Tissot patent. Secured clasps

January, 2021
The Tissot Seastar 1000 Professional comes with a steel bracelet with three links, burnished in the centre and buffed to a satin finish on the sides. It is closed by a folding clasp specially designed for diving purposes. It has push-buttons, a safety feature and rapid extension, doing away with the need for fussy resizing, when worn over a diving suit. The watch is delivered with a second black rubber strap with ribbed interior and steel pin buckle for more sporty, casual wear. To switch easily from one to another, without tools, Tissot has fitted these clasps with a rapid-lock fixing system. It is all delivered in a dedicated watchcase made in neoprene, identical to the material used to make diving suits. A seahorse, the historic logo of the Tissot Seastar, is transferred on the interior. This animal, a symbol of sea life and easy mobility underwater, is also present on the sapphire crystal case back of the Tissot Seastar 1000 Professional.

The Arab Fashion Council in partnership with Facebook, Inc pioneer the first men’s fashion week for the Middle East.

The Dubai based Arab Fashion Council has pioneered the first men’s fashion week in the Middle East. Presented by Arab Fashion Week in partnership with Facebook, Inc Arab Fashion WeekMen’s will run from 28-30 January 2021. Thereafter, it will take place twice a year each January and June in line with the menswear fashion week calendar. Reinforcing the Arab Fashion Council’s goal to establish a sustainable platform through which to champion fashion design talent from across the region, both established and emerging menswear designers from the UAE, Lebanon, Qatar, and Iran, have confirmed their participation in Arab Fashion Week- Men’s. Furthermore, as part of a strategic partnership between The Arab Fashion Council and The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, four emerging menswear designers from Paris Fashion Week Men’s, have been selected to participate in the first Arab Fashion Week- Men’s. “Emerging brands express a fashion forward view on the world. We are pleased to present some of these talented designers from the Paris Fashion Week® calendar in Dubai at Arab Fashion WeekMen’s, to allow them to increase their global reach.” Serge Carreira, Head of Emerging Brands Initiative, The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode Arab Fashion Week- Men’s will commence on 28 January with designers premiering their collections through their individual expressions of digital creativity on Facebook Live and Instagram Live, allowing 2 billion users all around the world to view and pre-order the designer’s collections direct through Instagram Shopping and the ByTribute luxury marketplace. “Facebook, Inc is pleased to partner with the Arab Fashion Council to present the first Arab Fashion Week- Men’s on Facebook Live and Instagram Live, as part of our combined mission to empower the creative community in the Middle East.” Joana Jamil, Strategic Partner Manager, MENA, Public Figures & Social Influencers at Facebook. Arab Fashion Week- Men’s is powered by the Arab Fashion Council’s commitment to the principles of equality and progress across the region. Men’s style in the Middle East has long been expressed through statement timepieces and highperformance cars with fashion taking a backseat. The Council recognized that the recent popularity of international streetwear brands entering the market has fueled a moment for menswear in the region with more men expressing their style, personalities, and preferences through fashion. Arab Fashion Week- Men’s is a platform that celebrates creativity and freedom of expression not just of fashion for men but also for designers that embrace gender-neutrality. “The world around us is changing, so too are attitudes towards fashion and nowhere more so than in the Middle East. Arab Fashion Week-Men’s presents the breadth of menswear beyond formal attire and streetwear and paves the way for men in the Middle East to embrace a more adventurous wardrobe.” Mohammed Aqra, Chief Strategy Officer, The Arab Fashion Council. www.theciin.com

Please introduce yourself to our readers.

How has your journey been till now? My journey been successful but also challenging, ups and downs ,tears and joy, many sleepless nights and hard work but also fun and rewarding.
Tell us about your education.
I completed a Bachelor Degree in Banking and Finance and Master degree In International Business, also I am part Qualified Financial Accountant.
What are your fondest memories?
childhood
Having the best grades in my class and being involved in all the social activities at school. I start hosting school events since I was 9 years old, I was very confident and I had to be in centre of attention.
How did growing up in the Albanian influence you? Growing up in Albania was challenging, I couldn’t fit with the society and their way of thinking. My vision and thoughts about the future were more advanced than my pears , therefore I found it hard to be understood and express myself. However I had a great family environment, my dad worked hard to provide the best for me and my siblings. What were you most fascinated by? I am fascinated from nothing in life, nothing impress me.
When and how did you dream of becoming a beauty queen?
I was 16 year old when I won the first beauty pageant ,Miss Lezha, a little city where I was living with my family. Then I moved to United Kingdom where I won a few tittles in pageantry. The last and least pageant I took place was Miss World 2018,where I represented Albania. I found pageants as a platform where women can speak up about themselves and share messages to a large audience. As a kid I would stare the TV for hours watching pageants and fashion events, I was in love with the glit and glam of pageants, the beautiful women, their makeup and dresses.
When and why did you move to UAE?
I moved to UAE in 2018,UAE have the highest standards of living than major part of the world, also is one of the safest country among the rest. Is a country that offer great opportunities for business and development.
January, 2021
How was the feeling and overall experience when you won the Miss Albania World 2018 title? Miss World Albania is a prestige tittle, I bet majority of women in Albania dreamed to have my crown in 2018, however myself I was glad to represent Albania at Miss World but also very relaxed. I would recall as a beautiful experience and eye opening event in my life.
What were some of the challenges you had to face through your journey? There are many challenges and many rewards which I am honored to have made me the women which I am today. One of the biggest challenges for me has been anxiety, being a public person you are always criticized and labeled from the industry of media and the public. I recall many bad days where anxiety was taking over my life, my best friend Yasmine played a huge role to help me go through it and my prayers to God.
Beauty pageants are often criticized for reinforcing the idea that girls should be valued for their physical attributes and are superficial … What are your thoughts on this? This is not true, beauty pageants if organized accordingly are an amazing platform for women to showcase themselves, confidence builders and entertaining
Who is your role model? I don’t have a role model, and I don’t project myself based on a role model, the person which I am building myself to be have to be unique ,no comparison.
Your message for CiiN magazine. Do what makes you happy and trust God.

ETRO PRESENTS MEN’S SS21 COLLECTION
28
Live and alive. ETRO presents its Men’s Spring Summer 2021 collection with an informal gathering at Milan’s iconic Four Seasons Hotel. Forever inspired by the world of travel and quintessentially rooted in an idea of extended family, ETRO, paying tribute to the signature Milanese location, portrays the different guests of an international hotel, checking in and out with their peculiar personalities and their wealth of experiences and memories. This season, more than ever, it is not about the final destination, it’s about the journey. Essentials of the fashion house’s creative vocabulary are revamped. Stripes, Madras checks and the unmissable Paisley motif give a distinctive attitude to shirts and deconstructed suits. In keeping with the brand’s continuous commitment to sustainability, ETRO employed eco-friendly fabrics, but also manipulated archival textiles for an exciting upcycling process. All identified by the BENETROESSERE special tag, these unique pieces include patchwork denim pants and jackets crafted from vintage cloths, while shirts are made of eucalyptus yarns and polo shirts are realized in a special textile obtained through the recycling of plastic bottles. The ETRO travelers explore the world carrying foldable totes in archival material and cross-body pouches showing the brand’s signature Paisley motifs. They discover new horizons through the colorful lenses of the new ETRO x CARRERA COLLECTORS EDITION eyewear, a unisex re-edition of Carrera’s iconic Champion aviator style, dating back to the Eighties, in a summery color palette of lemon yellow, intense red, candy pink, forest green, night blue and shiny black. www.theciin.com

GIVENCHY PRESENTS THE NEW ANTIGONA BY MATTHEW M. WILLIAMS In 2021, the House of Givenchy embarks on an exciting new chapter for its emblematic Antigona accessories line. Named after the passionate and courageous Greek heroine, the original Antigona last year celebrated its 10th anniversary as the House’s signature women’s handbag. Iconic for its architectural construction, regal lines and effortless mix of feminine and masculine traits, it has become the foundation for a burgeoning family of sleek, urban leather accessories for women and men. For Spring-Summer 2021, Creative Director Matthew M. Williams reinterprets the icon for a new era, blending his love of industrial hardware with Givenchy hallmarks, subtly infusing the Antigona’s elegant geometry with more generous volumes, a modern attitude and a futuristic edge. Crafted from Box-finish calfskin, the new Antigona salutes its lineage with a scaled-up version of its characteristic pentagonal patch and two signatures — a 4G in front, GIVENCHY lettering in back —evoking the House’s dual character. Luxurious and distinctive 4G padlocks, custom-designed by Matthew M. Williams for Givenchy, are inspired by the celebrated “love locks” of Paris and present an open invitation to further customize the bag as the wearer wishes.

www.theciin.com

Sophisticated enhancements to the Antigona include reproportioned handles, which are now elongated and anchored lower on the bag’s body to optimize versatility of wear. A roomy central compartment features either a zip or a magnetic closure, both finished with the 4G padlock, while a version of the mini Antigona and the unisex Vertical bag come with a removable strap for cross-body wear, in leather or the new G-link chain respectively. Matthew M. Williams also brought his visionary aesthetic to the Antigona family’s youngest sibling, the versatile, unisex Antigona Soft bag, and gave it a companion in the form of a sleek shopper tote. Now reconsidered with strong, squared lines, drop-length handles and a 4G padlock, these multi-purpose hybrids make a sophisticated statement whether in the city or on the road. In the most masculine interpretation of the style to date, the designer presents the nonchalant Antigona U crossbody bag, also in Box-finish leather, featuring a deconstructed version of the 4G padlock that gives this accessory a unique, urban attitude. The Antigona family of leather handbags will be available in timeless neutral colors or seasonal shades of pink or red. Meanwhile, classic Antigona styles and sizes, in Box-finish or crocodile-embossed leather, are adorned with the new G-link chain. The latest Antigona accessories will be available in Givenchy boutiques and on givenchy.com starting on February 26th, 2020.

MCM UNVEILS SPRING / SUMMER 2021 CAMPAIGN
“TECHNO JUNGLE” For Spring / Summer 2021, German luxury fashion house MCM embarks on a journey to the geomorphic, introducing its latest campaign entitled “Techno Jungle”. Inspired by the convergence between natural and virtual venues, the presentation conceptualizes the brand’s travel narrative into an augmented safari where the organic meets the digital. From lush landscapes and techno tundra to multicolored cyber-scenery, MCM introduces a utopian multiverse where fantasy and reality coexist. Continuing the brand’s homage to the hyperreal, the latest campaign illustrates MCM’s DNA of mobility and freedom through dynamically digitized visuals inspired by the elements.

Tissot T-My Lady Fine, strong, the essence of woman For Tissot, 2020 will be an eminently feminine year. The Le Locle-based brand, traditionally unisex by nature, is launching some new, high-quality timepieces for women. The Tissot T-My Lady range provides the vision of the Tissot woman. She is confident of her life choices, committed to an exciting, mindful life and wants to make the most of everything. Aspirational and strong, sophisticated yet tough, she cruises between her home, the office, nights out and an active daily life, just like the Tissot T-My Lady. The new collection, consisting of several quartz models at launch, is dedicated to this complete woman. These watches, with the endurance of steel and, in some versions, the radiance of rose gold, have the simple grace of timeless lines.

www.theciin.com
Every woman
The Tissot T-My Lady is not just a feminine watch. Its concept, design and underlying purpose make it the ideal watch for those women – elegant, sophisticated business women – who believe a watch should stand the test of time. Ladies will like its dimensions - 29 mm in diameter which make it ideal for everyday wear. Elegant women will admire the diamonds on the dial of the automatic version, which give depth, character and warmth to the T-My Lady collection. Sophisticated women will love its mechanical self-winding movement, regulated by a Nivachron spiral with exceptional non-magnetic properties. Businesswomen will be tempted by the dials: blue sunburst, silvered, opaline or anthracite sunburst.
Every life
The feminine counterpart of the Tissot Gentleman, the Tissot T-My Lady bears all the hallmarks of quality watchmaking inherent in Tissot’s timepieces. The watch’s basic structure of steel case and bracelet, the choice of self-winding or quartz movements, and above all the finishing details, all testify to the experience and care that have gone into creating this new range. The timepiece comes fitted with a steel bracelet for active women, and can be given a different look with the interchangeable leather strap to be found in the pouch for the all-steel automatic and quartz versions. On the solid gold models, the hour indicators are bevelled, faceted, three-dimensional appliques. The date aperture is also cut in relief on the automatic models and gives a flattering, bright finish to the dials, guaranteeing perfect legibility in all circumstances. Its discreet refinement easily meets the demands of work or more dressy occasions, pairing perfectly with jeans, a trouser suit or a little black dress.

COACH INTRODUCES DISNEY MICKEY MOUSE x KEITH HARING With Campaign Starring Kaia Gerber, Cole Sprouse, Kōki and More
82
Coach introduces the Disney Mickey Mouse x Keith Haring collection with a campaign starring Coach family and friends Kaia Gerber, Cole Sprouse, Kōki, Xiao Wen Ju and Myles O’Neal. Spotlighting Haring’s iconic illustrations of Mickey Mouse from the 1980s, the special edition collaboration brings together three American icons—Coach, Disney and Haring. The collection includes bags crafted in glovetanned leather topped with Mickey’s ears, and a shearling jacket, totes, and sweatshirts printed with Haring’s artwork. Reimagined within the collection, Haring’s illustrations of Mickey Mouse uniquely illuminate his philosophy as an artist—his belief that art should be for everyone, and the tension between originality and pop culture his work often explored. The collection also includes Haring’s “Andy Mouse,” his artwork featuring Haring’s personal hero Andy Warhol drawn as Mickey Mouse—and a celebration of pop art. Created in collaboration with photographer Alessandro Simonetti, the Disney Mickey Mouse x Keith Haring campaign depicts the international cast on streets that channel the energy of downtown New York in the 80s, where Haring lived and created his art.

“Sometimes the best design comes from the most unlikely juxtapositions, and I can’t think of a cultural clash that brings me more joy than Mickey Mouse and Keith Haring,” said Coach Creative Director Stuart Vevers. “Ahead of its time when it was first made, this art feels so timely today as we can celebrate and appreciate the diverse work of great creators whoever they may be, without social boundaries. As my collections over the years have shown, I love Disney and I love Keith Haring, so this collaboration makes for my ultimate treat.” To introduce the collection, Coach also launched the Disney Mickey Mouse x Coach Exploratorium, an interactive digital experience where customers can watch exclusive videos featuring stars of the campaign Kaia Gerber and Kōki, learn more about Haring, Mickey and the collection, shop physical and digital products, and create their own street art in the style of Haring.

Layer statement necklaces like a pro with Aquae Jewels!
A trend that has become increasingly popular is layering necklaces and what we love about this trend is how with just a few additions and we can create a whole new outfit. But there is a method to the madness that is piling on the layers. Mix 'em up
90
When wearing multiple pieces, the most important thing is that each piece stands out and the best way to do that is to mix chains with distinct styles. Switch between heavy statement-making chains and the slimmer ones and you'll be sure to find what suits you best. Short + Long Wearing multiple necklaces of the same length may lead to one chain overshadowing the other, to layer with brazen nonchalance, stagger the lengths of your necklaces. Flaunt your persona Layering is the perfect way to introduce an element of your persona by means of a pendant or a lucky stone along with the base chains. This will create a more sophisticated and charming look.

Jacquie Aiche x NSF, the sweats collection made for more than lounging No doubt, 2020 was the year of sweats. But, no longer are they painted as bland two-piece fleece outfits solely for dull, cold days you couldn't be bothered with. They've transcended temperature and occasion, and we couldn't be happier. Especially with the Jacquie Aiche x NSF collection, which has proven to be just as efficient for lounging, as it is perfect for street style chic. The collaboration features sweatsuits in the unique NSF style, beautifully blended with classic JA motifs such as the evil eye. The pieces in the collection are designed as the everyday essentials, exuding a laid-back, luxurious California vibe. The sweats can be paired together or separately and come in colours that are reminiscent of the recurring theme in Jacquie Aiche Jewels - Mother Nature.

Lady Dior Bag
Iconic history by Christian Dior By: Yassa @yassa_ksa
142
The luxury handbags have gained prominence in popular culture; the designers have sought to create signature bags for the everyday woman. With the iconic women’s bag Lady Dior create an intimate fashion dialogue with a woman and what she wants. The inspiring fashion history of the Lady Dior bag began in 1995 when the bag was appeared on the arm of Lady Diana, Princess of Wales, on a trip to Paris. Before that moment the Dior bag did not have a name, only unofficially named Chouchou at the time, but because of the historic moment snapped with this bag on Lady Diana’s arm, it received the perfect name: the Lady Dior. It was often photographed carried by Diana at public events. Soon after, the bag was being described as “iconic" and “legendary”. Two hundred thousand models were sold in two years in a larger series and Dior's leather goods turnover increased ten-fold. Composed of 144 pieces in total, the Lady Dior bag was inspired by everything couture. The bag is most commonly decorated with a cannage pattern, adopting one of the houses' integral graphic codes. The cannege was inspired by the Napoléon III chairs once used by Christian Dior to welcome his customers into his atelier on the date of his first show in 1947 This season, Dior introduced its newest iteration of the Lady Dior Bag: the Lady D-Lite.This ultra-comfy and minimalist version still features the Cannage motif, but this time it’s created with 3-D embroideries. The tone-ontone coloring is subtle and modern with five color ways offered.The Lady D-Lite epitomizes elegance and modern beauty while offering a casual and wearable finish. www.theciin.com

Pinghe Bibliotheater is the core of OPEN’s latest project—School as Village/Shanghai Qingpu Pinghe International School. A library, a theater, and a black box interlock together like a Chinese puzzle to form this characteristic building that some call ‘the blue whale’ while others see it as an ocean liner. The unique form of the building and the free-flowing spaces not only cultivate the students’ interests in reading and performing, but also encourage their imagination to roam freely in the ocean of knowledge.

Pinghe Bibliotheater Shanghai, China OPEN Architecture

January, January, 2021 2021

The Bibliotheater abuts an important corner of this schoolvillage, at a junction near which a major city highway and an ancient canal also meet. The slanted roof with spiky skylights, ship portholes like round windows, and eye-catching blue color leave a strong impression on passersby. When we were given the extensive and jumbled-together program of a new school for 2000 students aged from 3 to 18 years, the immediate reaction was how dreadful it would be for a kid spending these many years fixed in one building. We decided to break away from the current trend of school-as-megastructure. Instead, the original program was deconstructed and grouped into many smaller and distinctive buildings, forming a village-like campus. The marriage of library and theater came from the architect’s belief that the act of extensive reading and thinking, and the act of expression through performances, should be critical components of education but are often ignored in test-driven educational systems. The distinctive qualities of these two programs and the respective physical needs came to inspire the design of the building. Above and Below The proscenium theater and the black box, which require the least natural light and the most acoustic isolation, occupy the lower part and the deep central area of the building, while the library occupies the upper part. A loop of different reading spaces rises and drops according to the varying heights of the theater volumes below, creating a terraced spatial sequence that climaxes at a central reading area that is surrounded by books and light. Introvert and Extrovert The experience of reading is inevitably introverted and
highly personal. Facing readers from early years to young adults, the architect created many comfortable reading zones of different qualities. A sunken roof garden gives kids breathes of fresh air and an outdoor reading area when weather permits. The experience of performing in theaters, on the other hand, is extroverted and exciting. The main entrance to the theater is where the building is ‘cut’ diagonally to form a theatrical opening. The juxtaposition of warm wood panels and deep blue walls create a visually stimulating auditorium. The café on the ground floor also plays an important role. During normal school days, parents waiting to pick up kids can read and socialize there. Lightness and Darkness Light is crucial to the design of the library, not only fulfilling the functional needs but also giving form to the spaces and animating them with musical rhythm. Abundant skylights on the slanted roof bring filtered light to the central reading area, a giant oculus dropping down from the ceiling illuminates the very center in an almost spiritual way, forming an emotionally charged central space. While in the theater, natural light is avoided entirely, and artificial lighting was carefully designed to meet functional requirements. In a sense, the Bibilotheater was conceived more broadly as a cultural center for not only the school but also the surrounding communities. Carefully placed near the secondary entrance of the campus, the building may be used independently without disturbing the campus management. It was the architect’s hope that the Bibliotheater will become the social energizer that brings together parents and community members.
