School of Applied Creativity

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to make readers understand the necessity of interdisciplinary learning in case of architecture and how that is transformed into a campus design project by carefully planning and with respect to context, surrounding and necessity. school of applied creativity as the project title states, is a new campus of CUET dedicated solely to Architecture and Urban Planning students. It is soul-ly purposed to generate spontaneous public activities like learning, sharing and cultural activities etc. and to act as an important ingredient to enrich the learning environment among the students. This paper shreds light onto the matter that architecture and urban planning are merely two branches of a closely connected discipline and they should be taught in an integrated way for each discipline to flourish. The paper further addresses in depth the entire study and design phase of school of applied creativity, which is a new campus proposed by CUET for the students of Architecture at CUET ( Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology) to be built in Chittagong. With the belief that, Architecture can change the society and it has the power to inspire, to elevate the spirit, to feed both the mind and body. A platform where architecture can be learned is the first place to be inspired from. This project being a school of architecture, urban planning and landscape holds these possibilities.
