@archdaily 🖋️ The façade of the building responds to various orientations through a unified strategy. It blocks direct sunlight to prevent glare while maximizing the entry of indirect light. Externally, the facade is clad in aluminum and finished with a transparent powder coating. This preserves the textural qualities and light reflection of the metal, allowing the aluminum to interact with its surroundings and the changing sunlight throughout the day. (…)
The building is a “vertical campus” designed to accommodate approximately 3,000 students. Access is provided via a bridge that crosses through the building, linking the street to the interior plaza. This unfolds like a seating space, with steps and an access ramp, thereby blurring the boundaries of the ground floor and integrating it into the urban space. The plaza becomes a community space for both students and local residents.
