The Open City now houses many of the school’s staff and some of its students, and contains a chapel, a cemetery, theatre, music room and many public spaces and facilities.

One of these is Walk the Line a fully insulated little living unit with a bed and desk and an outdoor terrace.

The genesis of this small shelter was Le Corbusie’s ‘house for an artisan’.

The extended gangway above the living unit rests on two slim columns at one end and spans 12,9 meters to rest on the living unit.

The direction of the gangway follows the path of the sun, from the sunrise in the dunes of the Open city at one end, to the sunset onto the Pacific Ocean at the other.
