Architect Stephen Holl's Concept for the Building The new building partially bridges a lagoon and partially connects the organic geometry of the limestone bluff. Rather than an object, the building is a "formless" instrument in cortan steel with flat or curved planes slotted together. The school's architecture represents a hybrid vision of the future -- half bridge, half loft; half theory, half practice; and half human, half scientific. As an agent of work and flexibility, the building connects interior functions in spatial overlap at its center. This internal space is envisioned as a "social condenser" where ongoing work can be observed. Around the perimeter spaces overlook, overlap, and engage the natural landscape and lagoon.
