Redefining liberal arts education through a spatial dialogue between structure and creativity—an interdisciplinary campus inspired by the metaphor of a jigsaw puzzle, fostering connection and freedom.

ARTISORIA – Capital Institute of Liberal Arts envisions a new model for education where intellectual rigor meets creative freedom. The concept stems from the metaphor of a jigsaw puzzle, representing how different academic disciplines, each distinct in character, interlock to form a cohesive system of learning. The project seeks to move beyond the traditional boundaries of departmental isolation, instead cultivating collaboration, adaptability, and critical inquiry. The built environment reflects this philosophy: structured geometries express discipline and academic focus, while fluid circulation paths symbolize creativity, exploration, and intellectual curiosity. This duality allows the campus to operate as a living organism—structured in form, yet flexible in function. Through this interplay, ARTISORIA becomes a manifestation of liberal education itself: holistic, connected, and perpetually evolving.
