Rewriting the Edges of the City
TOWARDS AN OPEN INSTITUTION

The intervention materialises the unification of the vastly dispersed research around the city into a space that offers opportunities for collaboration and public engagement. By bringing the different strands of knowledge together, it strengthens the university’s identity as a cohesive ecosystem and amplifies its role within the city.
