a space conceived for the age of the modern, a new type of
school of architecture that does not look for inspiration to the old.

a lenear manner.
However the oblique perspectives and various oblique angle staircases which gives
it a chaotis effect brings in the deconstruction style.
The structure from outside is geometric .but the interiors are choatic with various
staircases,walkways ,bridges etc at odd angles.
The materials,steel,exposed concrete and glass give it a modern touch and also
influences the deconstruction style
