Green and transparant campus intensifying the univerisity’s identity and unity.
The new student accommodation is an elongated volume located alongside the campus’ boarder at the Triomflaan. Its position reinforces the urbanity of the campus while at the same protecting the green heart of the campus. However the transparency towards the city remains preserved at all times by the buildings intriguing volumes and the fact the green boulevard runs throughout the campus.
Trough well-thought decisions the linear volumes will adapt a permanent relation with the urban environment. Its design, part by using pillars, part by withdrawing it slightly, results in a generous, recognizable and highly accessible entrance. On one hand it’s an entrance for the city, her visitors and inhabitants, on the other it’s a gathering spot for students. As a result the buildings become part of the campus, protect the inner student life from the public street and adopt the same architectural language as the surrounding buildings.
