UN CADAVRE EXQUIS

 

International competiton for Young architects EUROPAN 11

Pejë, Kosovo, 2011

SHORTLISTED

 

The competition sought ideas for the definition of a building that could accommodate a university, houses, a hotel, comunal services and parking.

We propose more than a building:

01. A THRESHOLD> the city becomes part of the forest and the forest part of the city / a port / a door to nature and an end to the city. / the edge of the forest

02. A HYBRID > a complex ecosystem / stratification / 4 habitable environments / under the forest – in the forest – over the forest

03. INFRASTRUCTURE > support for different programmes / forest / park / tourism / housing / education / parking / pleasure

04. A TOOL > adaptable to various programmes and subsequent transformations / qualitative and quantitative flexibility

05. A PROCESS > the programme gradually builds up, according to the demand for building growth, availability of budget, etc.

06.  SUPPORT > different communities / students / families / visitors / cooperatives

07. A FORUM > indoor square / students – tourists – citizens / pedestrian / natural-cultural.

08. A FLUID > a continuous and diverse field of public relations – public – private / shared activity space and space for specific programmes.

09. A LANDSCAPE > make the city a forest / make the forest a city / build a landscape through objects / the forest seen from the city.
