ENTRANCE PRECINCT MASTERPLAN, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DUBLIN (UCD)

Dublin, Ireland. 2020

Description +

PROGRAM: masterplan

CLIENT: University College Dublin

STATUS: In Design

First Place in Competition, 2018

Our design for the Entrance Precinct Masterplan and Creative Centre for Design focus on Place and Space, the notion that Architecture arises not out of a vocabulary imported from elsewhere, but from this special Place and culture, projected toward the future with original, inspiring Spaces for the highest level of education for generations to come. The Entrance Precinct Masterplan is designed with five concepts in mind:

Seven Quadrangles of open, green space

“H”-Plan Circulation of covered walkways, that double as near-net zero infrastructure

Campus Porosity and Social Space through portal pass-throughs and amenity programs

History Connected relation to historic houses, gardens, specimen trees and woods

Flexible Phasing + Use by vertical Forums connecting all levels as ‘social condensers’

 

Ecological Innovation +

– Water retention ponds
– Natural lighting
