next university
designed by the concept of “corpus callosum” - the thick nerve track in our brains connecting the right and left hemispheres - the next university hub focuses on placing equal hierarchy on both creative and traditional logic-based learning styles.
program elements characteristic of right brain functions are defined by an angular geometry and the color red, while left brain spaces are linear and blue.
these dichotomies intersect at the focal staircase, serving as a physical connection between the two floors, metaphorical connection between the right and left brain, and emotional connection as a meeting space between users.
The learning commons and large active multi-purpose classroom utilize the two hemispheres of the brain in conjunction. To represent this, they will be located on both the tenth and eleventh floors in the center of the space along with the “corpus callosum” communicating stair.
