In our pursuit to redefine the relationship between the TAN and LEO buildings and their adjoining public spaces. Our project seeks to critique and reshape traditional interactions within architectural and urban contexts. Our intervention not only questions but actively reconfigures how these historic structures engage with the evolving urban tapestry of the city. We envision a space where the boundaries between academic, public, and architectural realms are not merely blurred but where they engage in continuous dialogue, fostering a culture of negotiation and redefinition.

The reimagined adjoining spaces between TAN, LEO, LZ and CLA aim to become zones of democratic exchange, where different community and institutional voices come together in a redesigned landscape that celebrates both continuity and change. By creating public areas that afford different work modes, we challenge the prevailing paradigms of space utilization and architectural functionality. These areas are conceived as dynamic arenas where urban and educational activities intersect, enhancing the vitality of the community and encouraging a proactive engagement with the architectural and cultural narratives of our time. This project does not simply alter physical spaces; it seeks to transform them into active participants in the cultural and political discourse of our community, reflecting a broader commitment to fostering an inclusive urban identity.
