Each of the campus facades gets something different from the city and is exposed to a different surrounding of buildings, noises and stir. The university environment is very diverse, there are very intense and structurally dense parts sidelong to wide green areas. Among the facades, there was a contrast between two parallel facades in which, one facade faces a street full of transportation and a continuous dense facade of buildings and the other facade which is parallel to, is faces the Freedom Square, which is a quiet urban park. The idea is to create the connection between the opposing worlds within one space, And using the campus as the connector.
