Bending Hedera

Hedera [Latin for IVY] represents a FLEXIBLE
organism which derives its form from a substructure both revealing the host volume morphology and creating a new and organically sustainable identity.

Similarly, the NEW School of Architecture will FLEXIBLY BEND into the CONTEXT and become an organic organism lo allow for cross connections.

The main IDEA is that of a TRYPTICH like organization where: ARCHITEC- TURE, ADAPTIVE REUSE and LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE are viewed as equally important pair ofthe FUTURE of our CITIES and thus a MUST for students learning about spatialdisciplines.

The site is perfectly suited for this tripartitioning and the finger-like design for the building creates endless opportunities for public interaction and experimentation.
