A 40,000 square metre lot that houses the College of Music and Drama and all its ancillary buildings, consisting of a theatre, cafeteria, dormitories, library, music hall and all necessary workshops and classroom spaces. Designed by Ghazi Sultan as a courtyard within a courtyard complex, this project was envisioned to evoke not only the traditional “Madrasa” spirit, but the ancient art of craftsmanship in brick with all its intricate implications to the facade.
