Western and eastern facades are made of glass. Windows are made as curtains and equipped with shading system, which controls the position of the special “fins” depending on the angle of sunlight, temperature, and quantity of incoming light. Also, the outer parts of the building are equipped with video and audio equipment, which allows to record everything outside the walls of the building and outdoor performances.

“Crooked” audiences include editing rooms, computer labs, a cinema to watch student works, rooms for sound production, as well as a film set with a green screen.

The outside the building is framed by a solid metal frame that holds ten floors of student dormitories. And gently curved central parts of the building contain academic and administrative offices, which are connected by numerous terraces and bridges.
