About the project

In Tournai, Belgium, Aires Mateus is redefining academic architecture with the Faculty of Architecture, a project that goes beyond traditional educational buildings. The structure is a learning space and an architectural statement designed to inspire creativity and openness. Aires Mateus focused on geometric purity and material simplicity to create spaces that encouraged contemplation and interaction.

For this project, OTIIMA provided custom-made glazing solutions tailored to the building’s modern aesthetic and functional needs. Our systems’ transparency and adaptability support the creation of shared spaces that feel open and intimate.
