Urban Campus
Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología _ Lima, Perú 2011_Contest presentation images with Barclay & Crousse The program for project required a compact campus to house the university and provide areas for impromptu learning. In a city with a relatively low percentage of green space it was important to maintain as much open area as possible. To this end, the project takes advantage of the expansive and narrow site to create a park at ground level. The mild climate in Lima allows the ground floor to be completely open to the outdoors and thus become a social plaza for students to meet and study. Above this level the classrooms and labs provide a variety of learning environments, while the roof is occupied by a cafeteria and garden. |
