Informe per als concursos d’arquitectura amb intervenció de juratArchitecture Competition for the Designing of Student Dormitories for the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT), 2020Organizer: Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) Distinction: Honorable Mention The aim of the design was the investigation of the boundaries between private and public, standardization, familiarization and the concept of community. The goal was a building with a clear functional organization and synthetic purity that meets the climatic characteristics of Cyprus and the demanding building program, while offering spatial gradations of outdoor places for relaxation and gathering for both tenants and the entire student community. The composition consists of a covered promenade on which 9 components are articulated. Circulation at all levels is achieved through 3 vertical cores and bridges. The path unifies the common areas of the ground floor, but also functions as a boundary between them and the rooms on the upper floors. On each floor the rooms are organized in “neighborhoods” of 14, 16 or 24 rooms with a central patio and shared kitchens. The rooms consist of a workspace, a bathroom with an opening skylight, and a sleeping area. Most of them are situated across North-South axis to ensure optimal natural lighting and cross ventilation. Elements of vegetation are embedded on the ground floor between the components, on the above level of the path, the patios and two of the roofs, creating courtyards across the development. Finally, a strong element that characterizes the study is the facade that surrounds the upper floors in contrast to the transparency of the ground floor. A combination of fixed and movable wicker-filled frames offer controlled shading and privacy in each room. The wicker offers an earthy, light but also contemporary character, with references to the memory of the place.
