Future Campus – University College Dublin International Design Competition
Конкурс проводится с целью расширения кампуса Университетского колледжа Дублина. Командам-участницам предстоит разработать проект здания Центра креативного дизайна и концепцию оформления входной зоны на территории кампуса, которая станет «лицом» колледжа. Состязание пройдет в два этапа. На первом жюри выберет по портфолио до пяти финалистов, на втором – выбранные команды посетят конкурсную территорию и займутся разработкой проектов.
пресс-релиз:
This international design competition focuses on enhancing and enlivening University College Dublin’s extensive campus. The competition seeks an outstanding integrated team for two much-needed design initiatives.
Firstly, to create a strong urban design vision that foregrounds a highly-visible and welcoming entrance precinct, one combining placemaking with a stronger physical presence and identity for the University. And, secondly, to devise a concept design for a charismatic new building that expresses the University’s creativity – a making and learning lab – the Centre for Creative Design.
Known as Ireland’s Global University, University College Dublin (UCD) is the country’s largest and most internationally-engaged higher education body. Offering a strongly diverse mix of academic disciplines, UCD is the destination of choice for international students coming to Ireland. It attracts over 30,000 students from more than 120 countries annually, and is the most popular choice for Irish students seeking a university place in their home country.
Founded as an independent university 160 years ago by the religious and educational visionary John Henry Newman, UCD has been a vital and influential force in shaping modern Ireland, both politically and culturally. UCD’s exceptional ability to foster talent is seen in its sustained contribution to business, science, medicine, the arts, culture and sport – and one of the world’s most original minds, the 20th-century author James Joyce, remains the University’s most well-known alumnus.
The competition centres on a project with two aspects: the Entrance Precinct Masterplan and the Centre for Creative Design. The Entrance Precinct Masterplan will create a new urban design strategy for a 23.8 ha area that will guide UCD in defining the quality of the campus through placemaking, architecture and the public realm, as well as allowing for future planning. Essential to this will be a distinctive, confident and highly-visible entrance and arrival experience that expresses the University’s identity and showcases its Dublin site. The Centre for Creative Design is conceived as a charismatic yet well-integrated architectural addition – a maker space that is a living learning lab – and will promote inter-disciplinary engagement. The total value of the Centre for Creative Design is circa €48 million.
The campus has a serious architectural pedigree – its mid-20th-century core was designed by Polish architect, Andrzej Wejchert, and commissioned through an international competition. More recent additions include the Student Centre, voted Ireland’s favourite new building (2013), and other world-leading facilities, notably the UCD O'Brien Centre for Science, UCD Sutherland School of Law, UCD Lochlann Quinn School of Business and the James Joyce Library. UCD’s new Confucius Institute for Ireland, which will support national and international engagement and is designed by Robin Lee in conjunction with Arthur Gibney Architects, is due to open in 2018.
