An Integrated Teaching Building in CUHK accommodates innovative teaching facilities as well as provisions for staff and communal space that would meet practical needs for general teaching, and specific teaching facilities. The building began with ideas of Louis I. Kahn's idea of a "school" began with an exchange of ideas underneath a tree. This is manifested in this project by the creation of a folding "Common Ground" within an atrium space thereby becoming the heart for the school where various learning and common activities can freely take place. The multi-storey platforms and link bridges created an open, highly flexible and permeable space promoting different uses and configuration of space.
