Unique Properties: The new campus is the manifestation of the university's advanced economic and educational model. The extended educational areas offer a studio-like teaching environment spatially revolutionizing the 21st century academic art practice. The building complex 'Base', 'Master' and 'Up' Innovation Centre brings forth a variety of unprecedented creative venues in the spirit of openness with the aim to provide such institutional spaces, which can stir the academic creation-process towards new waters.
Dimensions & Packaging: Gross built area: 15.851 (m2)
Tags: campus, modernism, transparency, analogue, bauhaus, arts, university, innovation, hub, transformation
Production Technology: Building B, BASE’s floating essence comes form a tripple steel core reinforcement suspended from from post-tensioned monolithic concrete beams, and hold the edges of the floor slabs. UP’s most notable technical element is the double-shell glass lamella system, which next to its visual appeal also has a shading function and provides natural ventillation. The MASTER’s inner walls have been torn down and replaced with soundproof glass walls during the building’s modernization process.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge was mapping the terrain conditions of the location and finding the right placement for the main entrance of the new campus, meanwhile ensuring the plans harmonize with the already existing modern villa-like buildings on the site.
Research: The main goal of this design was to create such a learning and working enviroment which revolutionizes the 21st century academic art practice. To accomplish this goal the architects were working hand in hand with the university staff while coming up with the plans, inventing inner spaces that serve as a transformable,stimulating background for creative activities. This included weekly consulatations and numerous hours spent on researching this new spatio-educational model.
Inspiration: The inspiration came from the person the university is named after, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, someone with an innovative, creative nature pushing artistic and technical boundaries - and through him, to the pioneering applied arts movement of the previous century, the Bauhaus. The fuel behind the design was to commemorate his oeuvres and significance as well as summoning a space which is to be the hotbed of contemporary artistic creation in Hungary.
Project Duration: The competition and call for submissions took place during October, 2015 for MOME University's stage 3 campus development. In the following January the results were announced, and the work begun after winning the competition: creating the concept, coming up with the construction plans and licensing. In the December of 2016 the planning phase closed and the construction took place between 2017-2019 June.
Operation Flow: The architectural design of the campus provides distinctive spatial solutions in each of the university’s three key buildings: the suspended structure of BASE maximizes the freedom to use different floors, and the horizontal and vertical transparency of building A encourages interdisciplinary dialogue. Meanwhile, the exterior of UP represents a new visual image for the university, and the interior provides a constant – and constantly changing – revelation.
