NET+WORK+CAMP+US
The NET+WORK+CAMP+US, design concept, which won he jury grand prize, is built around two primary factors. The first is that students of the future will be positioned in a dynamic relational between public and private space in a global context. The second factor is that students of the future will be intensive information users. Their campus experience, real and virtual, will enhance the relationship with multi-layered information. Informal and random activities become one of the most important features in their everyday lives.
In the NET+WORK+CAMP+US design concept, every place is potentially a public space. A decentralized, non-hierarchical, open layout will foster a student-centered education model. With converging travel paths and program distribution, the environment will foster student interaction. Meanwhile, the building systems and programs will combine to create varying spatial conditions.
The housing is part of a broader network. But by removing barriers, blurring boundaries, and encouraging exchange and interaction, these pieces come together. The space should be secure while also being open. It will have a genius loci while utilizing a module system and prefabrication. It will nurture sustainability while allowing human intrusion of a designed landscape.
One of the most important aspects of this design is the café—wall concept that diminishes physical and psychological barriers. Operable windows, incorporated with a comfortable bench-height divider, allows students to open or close their personal space in respect to the neighboring public space depending on needs and situations. This creates an environment that better enables interaction and serendipity blurs the line between public and private.
