Grid Growth

WIZO

Project idea

The project grew from two concepts, the firt consept stems from a virtual grid that is created by the building in the campus, the second one is from the interpretation of the "learning process" into architecture. The learing process is like building a building, we build the knowledge brick by brick until we reach a mass of knowledge.

Project description

My project offers an innovation center and a student house.
from looking at the university, it seems that the central courtyard is fenced by the existing buildings.
The various faculties are detached from each other and there are no spaces that allow common meeting places for all the faculties.
My project offers a structure designed for all students from the various faculties and allows for a meeting and Hangouts area
for students and visitors. Such as library , cafes, bars, cafeterias and innovation center.

Technical information

Inspired by the concept of the learning process.
The facade of the buildings consists layers of red bricks of different densities and grows into a mass.
The interior cavities also start at a low density and as they grow up the denser they become.
On the last floors there is a dissonance between the opaque mass and the glass ceiling, that illuminates the space in it entirely, Although it is not visible from the outside.
