Landscape Campus WU | BUSarchitektur

OPEN SPACE AT THE CAMPUS WU The Campus is a sequence of intertwining open spaces. Buildings on the different zones qualify these spaces from an architectural point of view. The Master Plan model determined the design of these open areas; a fabric of interior and exterior spaces, defined by the location of the buildings’ entrances in relation to the plazas, brings life to the intended environment. At the same time the free space on Vienna’s new Campus WU provides a setting and a context for its architectural objects. In acting as a setting it defines boundaries and intersections with neighbouring plots, as well as spatial sequences that help create a harmonious whole. As a context, the free space provides spots for active exchange as well as places for learning and quiet research. The Campus is conceived as a Walk Along Park with sequences of plazas acting as “stations” that lead to specific sections of the Campus along different paths between green spaces. The sequences are designed so that each "training path" also becomes an experiential journey. Fundamental to the quality of any location is the permanent visual relationship with the Prater Park, evergreen in its presence.
