The design of a grand staircase at the threshold of this new building serves multi-purposes as an event space for performance, observation and interaction. The steps as a basic architectural element unite circulation and programs together in a flowing capacity. Being semi-covered, it works as a practical presentation space while its openness increases the flexibility in teaching.

Reflected in sunlight, the building stands out from a mundane urban context with an energetic spirit suited to the pedagogical vision of the school.
