The proposed 60.000 square meter Hongkong Design Institute ( HKDI ) is conceived as an iconic presence for the school and the community. As an 8 story building amid surrounding skyrises abd mountains in the distance, the HKDI offers a new building scale for the site.

Stacked and offset building modules provide not only structural stability and an economical means of construction, but also allow for uniwue juxtapositions between indoor and outdoor spaces. Classrooms, exhibition spaces, and lounges are interspersed with open air terraces and cascading balconies. A grand public space nested within thebuilding provides a stage enriched with art, entertainment, academic activities, and the animated flow of students and visitors who move trough the building.
