The new
education building 127 for Denmark´s Technical University
at Lyngby Campus, covers 2000
m² and will house the
new Building Design Education. A hybrid engineering education which a strong
focus on architectural design, the course is brand new and still developing, it
is a mixture between architectural design and engineering, and will offer a
more technical focus than the traditional architecture schools in Denmark.Building
127 will offer a green student environment, with hanging gardens and a flexible
set up to encourage a social study environment. The building is designed with
an overall significant architectural identity, with a spatial flexibility,
easily adaptable to the developing education. The main inspiration derives from
the old fashioned factory hall, which has proved especially changeable for
warring purposes. The main structure
encompasses a 22 meter long roof attached to the two end facades, creating a
rectangular box. As the Building Design education develops, the physicality of
the building will follow.
A grass
covered roof helps gathering rain water for re-use and with a combination of
large widows on the facades and climate screening we have ensured daylight
entering into the center of the building as well as a healthy indoor
climate.
