UNI Graduate School

The shape of the building is based on a decisive spatial economy and proposes a duality between the various facades. Towards the square, the envelope is open and glazed, while towards the classrooms and offices it is protected and controlled by brise soleil.

The New Graduate School of the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of the UNI is considered a new iconic building that tries to generate a change towards a new architectural expression within the UNI Campus.

The building differs from the existing classic pavilions around it, imposing itself in a monumental way, but without attacking its surroundings, integrating in a friendly way into the urban configuration of the university campus through its restful staircase that receives users and visitors towards the elevated hall, which serves as a meeting place.

La Nuova Scuola della Facoltà di Ingegneria Elettrica ed Elettronica dell'UNI è considerata un nuovo edificio iconico che cerca di generare un cambiamento verso una nuova espressione architettonica all'interno del Campus UNI.

Si differenzia dai classici padiglioni esistenti attorno ad esso, imponendosi in modo monumentale, ma senza aggredire l'intorno, integrandosi in modo amichevole nella configurazione urbana del campus universitario attraverso la sua riposante scala che accoglie utenti e visitatori verso l'atrio sopraelevato , che funge da luogo di incontro.
