CUT Campus Competition - Honourable Mention
The extension of the Czyżyny campus of the Cracow University of Technology was designed to work as a complex mechanism divided in two parts.
The top part is community-oriented, meaning that it contains functions open to the broader public of the city of Cracow. In this part the circulation is defined by the open spaces that bridge the buildings together. The city’s heritage is carefully considered by conserving the old runway and giving it a new life by partially de-paving it and adding vegetation and bodies of water.
The bottom part is designed along a strong axis that conceptually cuts the section in half. A depression in the main pathway helps transmit the importance of the axis and brings people together enhancing the sense of community.
