Our answer for the extension is based on the existing system, deforming it at the same time, creating two patios. One of them forms a “vertical place” that groups all the cirulations of the building. This concrete space opposes its heaviness and hardness to the light-weight metal cladding of its outer skin.
At ground floor level, the existing slab on which the university buildings are built folds up in an origami-like ramp to even up news leverls with the already existing ones, in a fluid movement. The project presents itself as a form that is both independent and in continuity with pre-existing logic.
The facades are glazed on the same patern as the one on the existing building. However the glass metal skin, composed of ten types of panels perforated with circular holes of differrent sizes, gives the facades complex and variable depth. The holes also filter daylight and reflexions through the glass surface creating shimmering effects that give the building an impression of constant change - it reminds us that the original plan has “shifted”.
