INTERSECTION - CAMPUS STU

Idea projektu

Our first intention was based on 4 main aspects: First we want to connect our project with the existing buildings Second we need to generate more green areas inside the block and reduce vehicular traffic. Then we want to create different volumes that have different activities And finally we also want to generate connections between the proposed buildings.

Popis projektu

DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY: Our approach proposes a sustainable use of the existing building, re-functionalizing and providing it with the necessary structure for the new functions it will host. Due to the intervention located in the center of the block, we decided no to overpass the heights of the faculties that surround it. We also generate connections with these buildings to produce a unit, that has our proyect as it’s main character. To achieve such unions we create two volumes : the first one, next to the former laboratory, and the other one,in the oposite direction, through the main hall, getting the feeling of a floating volume inside the building. We also unify soil levels within the block lung, since there is currently a significant gap between both ends of it. For this, we propose a difference in level of 4 meters in the center of the block, where will place a dry square. Finally we consider necessary to prevent traffic, in order to create specific spaces for the pedestrains, for this we generate a large parking lot on the underground floor that can accommodate the flow of vehicles the faculty currently has.

Technické informace

The principal structure of the existing laboratory is made of concrete frames and concrete slab. The principal structure of the two volumes positioned longitudinally and transversal, is a reticulated beam made of IPN profiles and frame structure.

INTERSECTION - CAMPUS STU

Your design exhibits several notable strengths:: The project successfully addresses campus integration through its clear organizational framework of intersecting volumes that respect surrounding building heights. The "floating volume" creates visual interest while effectively resolving the site's 4-meter level difference through a thoughtful dry square intervention. Your sustainability approach includes adaptive reuse of the existing laboratory and prioritization of pedestrian spaces through underground parking. The presentation effectively communicates these ideas through well-structured diagrams and axonometrics. There are development opportunities—consider enhancing the following aspects: 1) Connections & Experience - Further illustrate the transitional spaces between buildings and how users will experience these connections. 2) Programmatic Relationships - Strengthen the narrative around how Research and Innovation Centers relate to existing faculty functions and support interdisciplinary collaboration. 3) Sustainability Strategies - Articulate specific approaches beyond adaptive reuse, including envelope performance, passive design strategies, and water management. 4) Public Space Activation - Provide more detail on the dry square's design, programming, and seasonal functionality. 5) Material Expression - Further develop the relationship between structural elements (particularly the reticulated beam system) and spatial identity. Your project demonstrates sophisticated thinking about adaptive reuse and campus planning. Developing the experiential qualities and sustainability strategies would further strengthen this promising proposal.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
