Moving Elements
- Adaptability - Dynamic -
The walls of the studio spaces have been designed such that they are able to slide in multiple directions. This allows for greater flexibility in transforming each individual learning space and adapting them to respond to specific needs at any given time.
- Geometrics - Inspired - Sustainable -
The louvres wrapping around the exterior respond to building's need for sun shading to prevent it from overheating and enhance the comfort of occupants. Just as a mimosa fern's leaves close upon contact, each louvre acts independently upon sensing harsh direct sunlight and turn accordingly.

Introduction to EXP3: Theory
Theory:
In order to
create sustainable architecture that effectively responds to its specific
environment, we must look to nature and become inspired by its capacity for adaptability
and evolution. Only by investigating natural geometrics can we create dynamic
and transformative architecture.
Five Words:
Dynamic
Sustainable
Inspired
Adaptability
Geometrics
