Wanting to add a surprise effect to the interior and make the central atrium more attractive, the designers created a series of hanging units placed along the passages on the first and second levels. They were conceived as mini-segments for real interaction between staff, students, and teachers.
The staggered arrangement of the units provides an effective focus on the previously empty atrium space. Ultimately, these objects participate in shaping both the identity and functionality of the design.
This renovation project has laid the foundations for the sustainable development of the Institute's infrastructure, whose activities are expanding year by year.
