De BaseCamp Lyngby Habitatio Studentium

BaseCamp Lyngby est campus habitationis studentium in solo satis plano intra viciniam viridem in Kongens Lyngby, Dania, aedificatus. Aedificium a solo gradatim usque ad altitudinem maximam sex tabulatorum surgit. Semita serpentina per totam tecti longitudinem ducit, ubi horti et arbusculae formam quasi parci efficiunt, incolis hospitibusque patentem. Forma curvata plures areolas parvas amplectitur, spatia definita et intima creans, ubi studentes convenire, legere aut requiescere possunt. Tectum viride etiam aquam pluvialem continet et usum energiae minuit.

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: Studentcampus BaseCamp Lyngby is built on a relatively flat site covering 34.300 sqm. while being well integrated into green Lyngby neighborhood. At the entrance to the plot, the building rises slowly from ground level to the maximum height of six floors, inviting both inhabitants and visitors to enjoy the multiple green courtyards or to take a stroll along the serpentine path running in full length at the roof. Great views, gardens and many species of smaller trees and bushes make for an interesting walk in the park like landscape. The curved shape of the building wraps around smaller courtyards, creating well defined intimate spaces for the students to meet, read or simply relax.
Dimensiones et Involucrum: The building of 37317 sq.m. lies on a 34300 sq.m. relatively flat site. It is 16,3 m wide and approx 1 km long. The buildings highest point is 22 m with its 6 levels in the south and from there it lowers its height all the way to the level 0 where the path connects. It is playfully wrapped around a vast common space in a round shaped building (1300 m 2) that visually reinforces the whole campus. Thus, bringing together all the shared functions and facilities by meeting the needs of students and residents of today and the near future.
Notulae: Student housing, Residential architecture, Green roof, Sustainability, Nature interaction, Harmony
Technologia Productionis: The building is certified at a DGNB Denmark “silver level”. The green roof provides a rainwater buffer, purifies the air, reduces the ambient temperature and saves energy. The facade is Rock Panel Durable and is certified BRE (Building Research Establishment) Class A+. 90 % of the energy of extracted air is reused in heating. Floor constructions accumulate heat during the day and minimize the need for heating at night. Facades are glazed in full height, so spaces are bathed in sun and daylight.
Provocatio Designandi: The biggest creative challenge in this project was to create interesting and context inspired architecture by keeping the costs very low. In order to achieve that, only one module would be repeated in ways that could create organic shapes. After a few months of research the trapezoid shape was invented. This repetitive module creates the organic looking serpentine structure playfully positioned around old vegetation that existed on the plot.
Investigatio: The location is in the midst of beautiful nature, close to Lyngby Lake and the Unesco preserved park “Dyrehaven”. The city center and Denmark's Technical University (DTU) are reachable by bike within a few minutes. A 1000 bike parking spaces encourage the use of the greenest transport possible and the train station located nearby adds to this – thereby also making the capital, Copenhagen, reachable within only 20 minutes. The lake is just by the southern side of the plot, which provides the opportunity to hike, sail or kayak within a short reach. Since the project is relatively large for the area, it has been an ambition to give something back by making the roof park accessible for the public, and in that way improve and attract the local community in relation to social, economic, and environmental aspects.
Inspiratio: The concept and the organic form were inspired by the context. This part of the city has a very natural and green character that the building is in harmony with. The idea was to bring students closer to the nature and motivate them to interact with it. The project had to satisfy the low-cost an sustainability demand. A trapezoid repeatable shaped module that rotates differently within the same radius was invented, creating the round organic shaped structure. The structure is uninterruptedly running all the way through the site, creating a walking path in the nature on top of the building.
Duratio Operis: Construction start 06/01/2018
Expected construction completion date 08/01/2020
Location: Skovbrynet 2, 2800 Kongens Lyngby, Denmark
Cursus Operationis: Basecamp Lyngby is a serviced campus run by a team known as Basebuddies. All rooms are furnished and have private bathrooms. The majority have their own kitchenette to. The interior design is made by Studio Aisslinger and provides great qualities in the rooms and common areas. Common areas are designed to enhance social interaction. In the curved main building as kitchens and living rooms. The round central building is made solely for the students to meet and contains space for play, party, fitness, lectures and studying.
