Project Assumption

Considering the development of technology from 1980-2015 comparing to the period of 35 years before, speed and range have been increasing.

Not only new technologies have been touching almost every part of our lives, but also means of presentation and storing material have been reaching outstanding quality and capacity.

As wide fields of medical science and micro-technology join, it will be just a question of time for establishment of direct neuronal media-import into the brain.

After safety and copyrights have been attacked in various networks, strict control and safe data will become a prior condition within direct contact between man and machine.

Project Statement

The shape of the building emphasizes the West-East-direction which also the main direction of movement of visitors, the crossing contact to neighbor buildings is supplied in the hall, too.

The pervious structure of the matrix-block and the transparent roof topping the hall framed by the stairways and the bridges provide daylight throughout the building.

Biodegradable polymers are used for the facade consisting of two shells with vacuum-insulation.

A combination of natural materials for furniture and the big variety of combinations of the shelves consisting of just 6 different elements supports conservation of resources, easy manufacturing-processes and a new term of usage in the future.
