STRATEGY 1 THE HEART PUMP
The project aims to be the heart pump of the future
university. The existing urban condition of the different universities of the
campus is but a series of buildings or groups of buildings that have no
apparent relation to one another.
Generating an element that can read into the existing condition in order
to generate a new and unitary urban condition is one of the key objectives of
the project. The generation of new and better spaces for the campus has given
shape to the new construction.
STRATEGY 2 THE SATELLITES
A different approach was understood to be needed for
the 8000m2 of the VTT area. Modular buildings, very regular and flexible can
allow for very different uses. The height, number, and use of these satellites
can be decided upon later on by the university. Respect again for the
alignments of the existing buildings has been key. This same strategy can then
be used in different places of the competition if needed and can even be used
later on in different areas of the campus in order for helping the campus have
a unitary identity.
STRATEGY 3 THE CIRCULATROY
SYSTEM
The heart pump gives way to a series of arteries and
veins that connect the new with the existing buildings. These connections
provide the university with the necessary flow of students and staff throughout
the different buildings. This strategy can again be applied wherever is
necessary so as to integrate the different universities and allow for a
horizontal knowledge flow and a new learning concept where Permeability Transversality, Transparency are necessary.
