3 School of Creative Media, City University
As if to reflect the boundless creative experimentation and production within its walls, the physical structure of City University’s Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre is unlike any other. At almost 30,000 square meters, the building is able to host up to (approximately) 2,000 students and 500 staff members—all while housing numerous lecture rooms, equipment storages, studios, sound stages, performance spaces and more.
Evocative of Brutalist architecture, the angular, ridged design allows for walls, stairs, and surfaces to interact in new ways. The asymmetrical ergonomic flow allows light and space to interact in a fascinating manner, giving way to shots with unforgettable leading lines. It will take some effort to eyeball an interesting shot here among the stark architecture, but you will be rewarded with an edgy and modernist background.
