Text description provided by the architects. The Arts Centre is building where arts and music are conceived as a pluralistic context; a meeting place, a destination and especially, an inspiring place. The project underwent numerous revisions and refinements of its content and curriculum, over several years, before arriving at its final design. The resultant building has an interesting dual relationship, where the first floor is used for music and dance, and the second floor for plastic arts. The two levels (and programmatic areas) are linked by a generous open-air (covered) grand staircase-hall-gallery that articulates itself simultaneously as a meeting, performance and exhibition space. The architectural objective of the Arts Centre was to develop a building that seamlessly integrates into the school campus (pattern and function ability), working the materiality that characterises the existing classroom buildings, with a more current aesthetic and spatiality.
