My theory: ''Architecture is inherently public, and therefore should be designed for the good of the community"

The school consists of a central tower containing the library, offices, research space and meeting rooms.  This central tower is the first moving element: it rotates to give all users panoramic views over Launceston.  The rusted steel beams mimic not only this rotation, but also represent an 'explosion' of creativity and ideas occurring at the school.  




The library is at the centre of this school, both literally and ideologically.  The library houses an extensive collection of books on art, architecture and related disciplines.   This library is open to the public, making it a centre of knowledge for both students and the public alike. 


The workshop and studio rooms are covered in glass, which allows the public to observe the students as they work and gain further understanding of the creative process. 
The rusted steel 'branches' extend towards people passing by, inviting passers-by to enter the building and discover it for themselves. 

The second moving element is the folly, which extends below the deep waters of the gorge below.  This movement serves to inspire the students and the public to dream large, as the impossible may not be out of reach.
