The Ultimate Art School Building wasn’t built in NYC of course (space issues) or Chicago (would have to be built with cut stone) or Kansas City even (doesn’t have fountains in the design) no the Ultimate Art School building was built in none other then the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
The School of Art, Design and Media a 5-story facility nestled in the corner of the campus with a forest to it’s back blends the heart shaped grass and glass building amazingly with the surroundings, gives a relaxing cool demeanor and most importantly is now the best place in the world to play hacky sack (aka footbag).
Feel free to post photos of your Art & Design building (or barracks as the case may be).

Now that’s a building! My only problem with it is that it’s not in a colder climate. It would be fun to ski the roof.
I go to SAIC myself, but took some pictures of UIC’s art building after going to the Hull House one day.

It was built with multi-level traversing ramps which bring you through each department and are meant to encourage interdisciplinarity (is that a word?) The building was never finished as planned as wall text in the building informs the visitor.
