To establish the in-between is to reconcile conflicting polarities. Provide the place where they can interchange and you re-establish the original twin phenomena.
Aldo Van Eyck
The thesis of this project focuses on the transition between a town and campus. The proposal is made for a shared urban room or plaza space that demarks the meeting place of the inherently different orders of the town and campus. Here a tower is proposed to better define the existing plaza space between four academic buildings. Finally, a wall reaching towards the town from the plaza space is proposed as an element of connection that defines a unique place between the town and campus. / Master of Architecture
