Project summary: The proposed project consists of a mixed program of various functions including a live part, students flats, offices and commercial. We chose an organic building for light, water, green, natural materials, acoustics and energy and a good balance between economy, ecology and emotion. An aesthetic and energy efficient design, integration of art and in dialogue with the high park towers. For students we work with large relaxation areas both inside and outside, cycling stables close to the studios and for the residents of the apartments we provide the necessary privacy and a sense of nature close. We choose a solid structure with flexible format allowing the buildings to adapt to the changings that will be needed. In the competition design, attention was paid to compact buildings with good orientation and the use of zoning areas, But taking into account the user value and the spatial aspect. Instead of opting for the construction of 1 block ,we selected 3 of each separate apartments. Personal activity : I worked on the plans (ground floor, first , second, third and fourth floor), proposing different typologies of apartments . I made also the drawing for the sections , diagrams and photoshoping the images for the final presentation of the competition.
