Design Brief General Redevelopment of parts of the existing University Campus which culminates in the architectural design for a new University Building. Campus-square • The design for the campus-square should focus on establishing convincing connections between distinguished elements in context (town, park, railroad station, elements of Tilburg University) • The design for the campus-square may focus on its surfaces (pavement, images of adjacent buildings), its surrounding landscape and vegetation, and may contain landscaping / architectural elements that enhance the integrity of the terrain. University Building • work-college rooms for 40-80 people (flexible sub-divisible) • work-college rooms for less than 30 people • Self study rooms • 2 large education halls for 600 people - one of these must be sub-divisible in 3x200 to serve as congress facilities • copy-shop • distribution desk and facilities for coffee / pantries • Pursued Gross / Net ratio = 1,6 • Total surface (BVO = gross floor surface)

DESIGN-BRIEF
UNIVERSITY BUILDING & SQUARE General Redevelopment of parts of the existing University Campus which culminates in the architectural design for a new University Building. Campus-square The design for the campus-square should focus on establishing convincing connections between distinguished elements in context (town, park, railroad station, elements of Tilburg University) University Building Work-college rooms for 40-80 people (!exible sub-divisible), work-college rooms for less than 30 people , Self study rooms, 2 large education halls for 600 people (one of these must be sub-divisible in 3x200 to serve as) congress facilities, copy-shop and distribution desk and facilities for coffee / pantries.
URBAN-MASTERPLAN
General From the analysis it was discovered that most people meet at the red dot ("rst row of schemes), but this square is actually to small for the high density. The new vision on the campus describes a newly created movement, from the red to the orange dot, together with the bounding elements (yellow and blue) to maintain one of the USP s of University of Tilburg: a compact and green campus. This new movement becomes visible, as it is the guideline for the shapes of the new buildings (second row of schemes). To complete the urban masterplan, the forrest at the west has been implemented into the square (third row of schemes) and the square is bounded by large stairs to end the started movement into square.

Preliminary Design presented on nov. 22nd 2013
Providing a brief conclusion of the design process of the square and the mass-study: The created mass is by its form an answer to designquestions of the square. The mass displayed below should stop the physical movement towards the north and function like a wall. On the other hand, by the transparent kube in the centre of the building, the visual axe from south to north should not be blocked, to prevent the area north of the building from being subordinated. With the huge cantilever and the frame towards the square (the diagonal as result of the end of the pedestrians movement), the campus receives a new entrance to the train station-side. With the east wall of the mass remaining completely closed, the visual borders of the campus are made clear, without blocking it completely from outside the campus by the cantilever.

The brief consisted of 2 large lecture halls for 600 students each, with at least one sub-dividable room in three sections. This has been accomplished by designing one on top of the other; the ceiling of the lower hall serves as Ă RRU RI WKH XSSHU KDOO %XW LW KDV DQRWKHU EHQHĂ€W WKH ORZHU KDOO KDV D Ă DW Ă RRU which can be divided and easily be used for conferences and events.
The atrium at the centre of the *URXQG Ă RRU SURYLGHV FLUFXODWLRQ space and central start of the routing trough the entire building.
To accomplish the needs for daylight, a great opening is created which opens towards the roof. This had lead to terraces that are furnished as self-study places.
By turning the front facade at the location of the cantilever, a sheltered entrance arises. In this way the entrance is made clear, gives a sheltered atmosphere and leads directly into the central atrium.
The mass, as it was designed as conclusion of the square-vision, did not provide a usefull spot for the main entrance. With the atrium in the center, the entrance has to connect to it: the entrance has to be the connection from the square to the artery of the building.
