can be approached as if one is filing in THE MISSING LINK The “link” will
connect Crown Hall, the famous library of Paul Galvin, the Conference Hall and
the Student Housing Buildings.
Materiality:
The implementation of modern materials such as aerogel panels and using steel structure is a key element in the design concept.
Both materials are used to give the large scaled building a light modern feel, as well as creating a link between exterior and interior
furthering the design philosophy not only between the buildings on a large scale, but also within the building itself.
About Site:

linkage between all the surrounding buildings. Furthermore, the site overlooks Crown Hall, as well as the residential housing from
one direction to the other while completing the edge of the site.
