In the old revolutionary district of Yan’an, designing a new campus for a university with a profound history and cultural heritage is a challenging proposition. The design needs to connect the past with the future, and let the history glow with the charm of the new era.
Plane order
The plane is composed of seven strip space units with different width and width arranged along the north-south direction. The elevator, toilet, other service spaces and the shared atrium are integrated into three sets of spacing service units to separate the four sets of Reading Library units. The whole building has formed a complex and strong contrast between the virtual and the real in the strict logical space system, and it has a strong sense of rhythm.
Techno parks, Technology Development Zones or Innovation Centers are similar terminologies describing specially designated areas where research institutions or innovative companies developing new technologies are fostered by some legal and financial encouragements. In Turkey, the development of such techno parks first initiated within university campus areas where industry and university can work together. Recently Turkish government started to designate new technological development zones not only in university campuses but also in the outskirts of large cities. These areas not only have special legal and financial advantages but they also have rather flexible building codes. The innovative characters of the companies and favorable building regulations enable more exciting and fresh architectural examples to flourish in these areas. ERA Architects was selected by a client to design the headquarters in the new Istanbul Technopark Campus.
For this realization, the tradition has to marry an actual spirit within an abundant and protected nature, in a historic site. The project longed to satisfy the sharpest requirements of a training center, to meet the needs of Pernod Ricard and outside companies through a partnership with Chateauform.
The International Exchange Center in the new campus of Shanghai University of Science and Technology mainly serves as a boutique hotel for external business, a conference and swimming pool for internal service. The project is located in the northeast corner of Zhangjiang University of Science and Technology, Pudong, Shanghai. It is adjacent to the campus living area. The location near the end of the campus enables it to obtain multiple independent external traffic entrances, which facilitates the organization of complex user streamline relationships within the campus. The International Exchange Center is a truly international exchange center with multiple functions, both internal and external services, and international first-class standards.
This project deals with the conservation and extension of Xianghui Hall at Fudan University. Xianghui Hall is located at the conservation area of Fudan University. It is a key historical building, which witnessed the development of Fudan University and held many academic conferences as well as political meetings including the visit of the former US president Ronald Reagan to China in 1984. It is also once the appointed background of the graduation photo of Fudan students. However, as time goes by, it has lost its original importance. Except that the second floor still acts marginally as the ceremony hall, the ground floor has become the place for storage, renting facilities and retailing. The conservation of Xianghui Hall is intended to reveal its historical value, use value and cultural value.
In the middle of the development of the Ad Portas building, the IWP – Integral Wellbeing Plan emerged as a conclusion of a qualitative anthropological study conducted by Beatriz Turbay on the campus of the University of La Sabana. Its findings showed that the student population needed more outdoor study spaces and that the new building of Ad Portas that we were designing, could not replace this shortage.
The Legal Practice Center of Unileão has an agreement with the Public Defender’s Office of Ceará that allows students of the institution to follow and experience real legal situations, contributing to their practical training. The architectural brief required a public service area, an institutional area, and a pedagogical area. In addition, an auditorium containing a foyer can serve as a venue for events linked to the area and of interest to the community.
The Architecture Building is the central block of the University’s Campus and the last piece of the Spatial and Land-use Master Plan that Daniel Bermúdez designed for the Universidad de los Andes which first piece was the Alberto Lleras building, winner of the Architectural Design award of the XIII Colombian Biennial of Architecture in 1992. Throughout the design process for Bloque C of the Universidad de Los Andes, Bermúdez Arquitectos has pursued the concept of a “building that educates”. There are many things that a building can teach, the problem is that the information normally remains invisible to the students.
The School Clinic for psychology and physiotherapy of the Vale do Salgado College is located in the city of Icó, which lies in an architectural site that dates back to the 18th century. It is encompassed by the dry steppe-like climate of the state of Ceará. Being located at the limit of the heritage perimeter, the building had to comply with some guidelines imposed by IPHAN, Brazil’s federal government heritage register. The guidelines include following the city’s color palette, using local materials on the facades, a maximum height of 7 meters, and setting the building at the very limit of the land plot, without any frontal recoil.
