“Light and shadow will be the materials used in this project with the aim of telling the city of Padua, its size, and its urban fabric always in balance between nature and artifice.” AF
The new university center becomes a green wedge that fits into the new trade fair system.
The ground floor is the sum of two elements, the green area and the paved area that interpenetrate, coexist and draw the front of the building.
The green, starting from the edges, wraps the building, enters it, and climbs up to the roof, creating a technological green public space, a new space for meeting and dialogue.
