UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS
2019 / Cagliari, IT

University building in Cagliari

A flat, man-made platform separates the city from the Mediterranean Sea. The project negotiates between the scale of the large shed-like buildings of the port and the scale of the dense street patterns of the old city center. Inside, the university campus is organised around streets and piazzas. The roof is one large square platform, offering a stage to various city events. The road is re-directed along the trainline, and the building reconnects the city with the sea.
