ECONOMICS BUILDING OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NAVARRA, PAMPLONA
Pamplona, Spain
Project Featured on Feb 11, 2014
The building is located in the Pamplona campus of the University of Navarre; and it is next to the current Law building, with which it is connected by means of different accesses in the East and South façades. The offers of both buildings are complemented; they will share students and spaces, and they have a single access from the outside.
The design responds to an idea of enormous ambition in terms of educational innovation. It goes towards the new graduate programs that the University has to offer; and also attends to the updated pedagogical concepts, giving a result of the international experiences of art. The classrooms, seminars, and work areas have been subject to earnest review, along with the accompaniment of a few new spaces marked by its originality and versatility.
The inside layout of the building is based on elementary geometry that privileges the serration and regular repetition of elements and alignments of rooms and constructive elements. It revolved around the creation of a central covered patio called to take the pulse of its distribution and spaciousness. Everything revolves around the same: activity, space and traffic.
The project is distributed in its largest part in the ground and first floor, which are extended in the surface occupied; these storeys spatially connect as they are perforated with the large central patio, which crosses the same until it reaches the roof in search for natural light by means of skylights. The ground floor, which is the one used for access is the highest in certain points. The main volume is crowned with a lineal development of offices for the professors on the top floor, one the roof. The volume is completed with a series of back-to-back bodies amongst which we could highlight those corresponding to the deacon, chapel and ‘tower’ of offices.
The building is a dialogue with its surroundings that speaks for itself, in the framework of a great respect to the magnificent green scenery of the campus, associated with the assessment of it's attractiveness and relevance. Moreover, it coincides with an extremely tight budget. Along with taking into consideration the bio-climatic circumstantial demand, it gives its attention to passive measures in favor of sustainability and energy saving: forms, guidelines, lattices of Sun protection, communication between inside and outside of the building. Also, it is equipped with the most modern mechanical and electronic control devices and minimization of consumption in reference to the air conditioning and lighting fields.
