VGTU Science and Study Center

The program of the building was split between the largest area dedicated to the conference hall and the laboratory wing . As a result the building consists of two distinct parts: the dome and the U shaped outer layer . The architectural concept of the facade of the U shaped laboratory wing draws inspiration from the surrounding functional style buildings . The dome serves a discrete function of a conference hall . As such it is visually separated from the rest of the building .

The dome was to be constructed using an inflatable membrane and reinforced shotcrete applied on the inside surface of the membrane . The laboratory wing was to be constructed from prefabricated concrete elements .
