DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| . |
|
|
|
 We needed to accommodate 300 beds, some social areas and some services for the whole campus in a narrow lot.
 We thought of creating a plinth with the more public facilities to activate the ground floor, then the social areas carving the volume’s core and finally articulate the perimeter of the building as much as possible, increasing the linear meters of façade in order to guarantee views and natural light to each room. To be able to resist a tough environment we opted for a sequence of skins that are hard and rough in the outer layer and become softer and more delicate while moving towards the core. |
