Abstract
As a place of learning, the chateau exhibits a rich history and culture throughout its walls. At the same time, an educational space should exemplify the direction of the future in new, sustainable innovations. Our design bridges the gap between these two ideas, the old and the new, inside and outside, by utilizing the motif of the growth cycle of the ivy growing outside as a symbol for growth in progress while still being rooted in the knowledge of the past. These roots begin in our large collaboration space, and being to frame the area where ideas are born. The connections gradually intertwine and spread into our smaller team work spaces, where ideas are refined. The roots round the corner, entering into our main presentation space, where ideas come to fruition and begin to spread to a bigger audience. Finally, these roots weave up the stairs and break through the ceiling into our private work areas, as a symbol that the ideas of those who have come before us continue to inspire us as we start new projects and begin the cycle over again.
