The attempt to make architecture and the arts inherently separate is one of Architecture’s most misguided prescribed prescriptions. Architecture, even at its most aestheticized, is not hermetically sealed off from the outside world and needs to evolve to reflect design’s enhanced role as a catalyst for innovation and creativity. Programmed space is pushed to cross-disciplinary routes, placing significant emphasis on integrating studio learning with the arts, the built environment, and the interface between them. The cross-disciplinary routes dissolution dissolve into learning spaces that is are collaborative and soft(ly) provide students that allow them to veer off traditional pathways of learning and will not learn about design in isolation. These “collaborative core(s)” have access to nature, including green urban spaces where students design and innovation innovate in public, building interconnections between design and (university) society.
