China Academy of Art Mengyuan Campus

China Academy of Art (CAA) is one of the leading higher education institutions for the arts in China,emphasizing both traditional Chinese and contemporary art practices. The Mengyuan Campus will house CAA's Department of Fundamentals as well as CAA's Affiliated High School, as well as a precious set of Pergamon Altar frieze relief.To address the duality of contemporary and traditional Chinese arts in CAA's pedagogy, the proposal compares between the western and oriental art traditions to translate them to a dual spatial system.

The proposal was completed in a Request For Proposal by CAA.
