Designing for one of the nation's leading design schools is an intimidating assignment. Designed by renowned Spanish architect José Rafael Maneo, the Chace Center houses students, exhibition galleries, an auditorium, studios, classrooms, and conservation areas. It is a creative hub and a private/public crossroads where university community and visitors may interact. The addition of the Chace Center building shifted the campus’s main pedestrian axis. This major change in orientation called for creative thinking and cooperation. The resulting system is bold and fresh, highlighting the new center's diverse features while intentionally underplaying our work.
