VIGO UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project analyzed the configuration of the entrance to the campus of the University of Vigo, the transformation of the sports area, the urbanization of the new commercial area and the introduction of a parking complex.
The campus transformed the place into a unified built landscape. One of the ways to access this landscape is through the sports area, and this includes extensive reforestation of the land, as well as the installation of a series of ponds. Therefore, the visitor enters the complex through a lush forest, and students can exercise among the trees.
The commercial area gives the place a shopping center and residences in buildings that comply with the topography: this is partially achieved by entering the open square with a canopy of metal mesh supported by columns and covered with tropical wood.
The façades of the different buildings are covered with granite-clad concrete. The ceilings, also madeof concrete, serve as home to the restaurant, which is accessed by the central staircase of the complex. PROJECT DETAILS
