Sited on the outskirts of Logroño, the capital of La Rioja region, the Technology Transfer Centre integrates several academic environments – a national education centre dedicated to IT training, a technology transfer centre dedicated to IT research and development and an
incubator for IT-related businesses - in a single organisation with shared functions, without losing their separate identities.
Our project is an attempt to make the building an integral part of the landscape both as a topographical event and as an experience, producing an environment where nature and technology are intrinsically connected. This connection between the natural and artificial is also a trademark of the region, known for its wines and sophisticated agricultural products. The building’s aim is to integrate the landscape into the building’s spaces. It adopts a linear structure which maximises contact with the outside and is ideal for the educational purpose of the building. The classrooms and offices which constitute most of the functional spaces are organised along a corridor space which threads through the building, bending to adjust to the surrounding topography and to provide a different identity to each one of the institutions. This corridor, containing the public spaces of the building, opens to the outside gardens on one side. On the other side, the rooms open towards the river landscape and the tree farms.
A series of ramps and terraces extend the interior spaces to the outside and provide solar protection for the fully glazed façades. The roof of the building forms a public promenade over the River Park, connected to the city level on either side by lifting bridges. The building’s volume is surrounded by a green canopy which produces a shaded microclimate around the transparent volume: a glass box under a vineyard.
