InHolland University Delft

The program for the InHolland University building was housing two department and administration. Departments were growing and shrinking so we used overlapping volumes an then shifted the floor plates in a way that every corner would be an open double height space for individual study. As usual, we were thinking in volume and not floor plan: If you want to cram in more people on a floor you better provide more height to avoid the feeling of overcrowding. The main auditorium is accessed from the floor that overlaps both departments.
