Fall 2020

The project explores new approach to unite people together. By adding a new route to connect two roads, the building is featured in dynamic integration and vivid interaction among people. When walking along the ramp, there is a slow ascent through the buildings levels that has a degree of reveal allowing the passerby to peer into the spaces through the separation between the floor planes and the ramp.

The space contains an atrium inside to create an open environment for students. In addition, there is a number of plantations on atrium of the ground floor to generate a natural garden inside. Rooftop is made of truss structure that brings natural sunlight into the center of the building. Along with the glass rounded inside, the reflection light and the sunlight together create a bright environment.

The project is an exploration of public space. It is challenging to construct tangible landscape by using the intangible features of public space. Since the landscape site is continuously generating and changing, people’s habit and activities are logically depending on the history of the site. It is important to understand the history of the site, since the current appearance is a result of changes based on its history.

Landscape and people are contemplate that people’s behavior changes the landscape and landscape influences how people’s living experience continuously at the same time. The project is trying to have a conservation with future people in 30 years. It’s conventional that the technology will not change too much of people’s living style. And trying to add a romantic and poetic environment into life. It is suggesting people to slow down and experience what is genuinely precious in life.

The design derived from the view of the site, where is located in Iceland. Celebrating the view of the endless field, the swimming pool is achieved through mainly the truss system. The structure is calculated via Karamba. With a total mass of 778437kg, the Bending Moment Max.: 78.92 kNm, the design is achievable.
