An architectural benchmark
The combination of unique biomass materials and timeless architecture has resulted in a design benchmark for buildings of this nature. The centre’s striking appearance is reinforced by its unusual, Y-shaped floor plan. Each arm of the building is to be devoted to a different discipline, with the centrally located atrium serving as a hub. The internal structure of each arm was dictated by, and corresponds with, the functions it serves. The ground floor accommodate a restaurant, meeting rooms and a conference hall. It also includes an educational area, offices and laboratory facilities. Study rooms are situated around the atrium, reinforcing the building’s qualities as a facilitator of interaction, and rendering interaction and knowledge sharing visible.
