N.I.D. Re-Oriented: Academic Building

The academic building’s ground floor, designed to resist floods, underwent a transformative change in 2023. Previously an administrative block, it was re purposed to reclaim its original free and adaptable nature, emerging as an innovative hub with flexible jury and exhibition spaces. During regular semesters, jury areas seamlessly blended into communal spaces, extending cafeteria seating and adapting for private student presentations. After juries, these spaces transformed into exhibition areas, highlighting the floor’s adaptability.
