The Matthew building is a weird building. It has 7 floors, 4th floor is the library, 5th floor is the lecture halls, 6th floor is the studios and CAD suite, 7th floor is the office.
Everyone get lost for the first few weeks in the building, definitely. Trapped in the building, can't find the way out or the toilet. Confused and can't differentiate between the studios and corridors.
However, it's a nice piece of architecture!
This is level 5 and 6. The sunlight actually penetrating the building.( LKW, pls learn to make corridor bright and cozy)
Long spatial 5th level for displaying some artworks, along the lvl 6 narrow corridors are the studios.

Lecture Halls on the right.

Next to the space in the first picture, the long corridors extended. Studios are at the sides, lecture halls below.

The Pit, where we wait for lecture and get socialise. A bit weird of the big rubbish bin at the middle, but not smelly at all. A mindful design.
The Studio:

Long long studio!! We can just pop into any spaces as we want. It's for year 1 to year 4 students, year 5 students have their own space. We don't have individual workspace as they want to mix the students from all the years. Students used to have own space, just changed last year.

Dara, Irish group mate and also flat mate.
Spaces created by separators. Drafting tables, lockers, electric plugs, tables and chairs are everywhere. someone even bring in microwave and kettle to the studio. However, its open only between 6am to 9pm everyday.

My temporary work space. Ricky, my Hong Kong group mate.

Cantina, the canteen for Matthew Building(Arch) and Crowford Building(Arts). A very massive canteen, picture can't tell the space here.
The Toilet:

See the tower in blue? It's for drying off one hands, better solution than hand dryer or tissue.

We can even take bath in the Matthew Building.

Or even buy some condoms…
