Minneapolis College of Art and Design: Expansion as a microURBANISM

The relationship between art students and professional artists is a dynamic one, always changing and dependent on the location it exists in. This expansion to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design explores the relationships between this dynamic world of art in the Twin Cities and how a student of MCAD could connect with it. Pods to be used as living units with attached studios connect to create a network of living/working units, as well as interstitial useable spaces in between. Circulation through skyways create an experience similar to an art walk, easing the transition from student to professional.
