“The heart of this project is a clearly articulated theory of student-centred learning, sensitively translated and imbued throughout with a strong design ethic.
This results in an educational complex of an exceptionally high standard, which invites all who enter to learn on multiple levels. This project is a triumph of understated simplicity, informed by both theory and practice.”
