New University Campus Competition
Lugano, Switzerland / Switzerland
Description
The Administration requested a proposal for a new University Campus in the outskirts of the city, near the original campus.
The concept is to create a new University Campus with an urban feeling by proposing a sequence of open spaces reminiscent of piazzas and courtyards. The program requested that the two main branches of the University be together, yet have distinct identities. Therefore we organized the two branches in separate yet interconnected U-shaped buildings that create two public spaces: one main piazza, open towards the original campus, and another more intimate courtyard.
