The comment about this being an early 90s attempt at a younger demographics reminds me of the VW Vario concepts. So was this one also supposed to be based on the Golf Syncro?

i think the base was suppose to be VW Golf but since there was no full scale car, exact model was not chosen

The school was actually located at the Chateau (which was renovated for that purpose).

Was the student designer Guido de Groot?

not him

and quote from their website:
We have long taken a global view of the importance of design and art, and from 1986 to 1996, had a second campus in Vevey, Switzerland.

Yes, as it was near Vevey. My daughter is a current student at ArtCenter and their photo archives contain hundreds of images of the school at Château de Sully, including images documenting the renovation.

Come to think of it, they may also contain images and details of the puzzle car... :D
