Situated at the center of

Princeton University’s

campus, the building is conceived as a hub for the arts and humanities. Organized around nine interlocking pavilions, the design emphasizes cultural exchange and accessibility, with entrances on all sides and two interior “artwalks” integrated with site-specific artworks.
