Recognizing that one of the most important aspects of any academic environment is the free flow of information and ideas, this project was developed around a main axis of circulation, thought of as a space, rather than as a connector. Much as the courtyard was the main setting where academic discussion could take place, through the Middle Ages, this new interpretation transforms the courtyard into a dynamic ribbon that connects all levels of the buildings it crosses, and becomes the spine of the campus.
