Bocconi Urban Campus
A STAGE FOR HOMO ECONOMICUSWhat is the most appropriate stage for Homo Economicus?In the middle of still ongoing turmoil, we propose a formal composition of objects that represents a three dimensional re-learning of humanistic values. We arrange a multiplicity of structures and programs in such a way that, beyond a direct response to Bocconi's immediate needs, we also address the less explicit questions raised by its current situation. As a counterpart to Bocconi's severe architecture, our project offers a degree of complexity. Vis-à-vis the old campus - a casual ensemble of more or less independent buildings - the new complex is conceived as a core, where two clusters of interdependent buildings, one introverted and the second extroverted, around an open center, form a larger whole.LEARNING FACING LIVINGThe enclosed lecture rooms and the general work spaces are arranged in a single "amphitheatre" overwhich the life of the school can extend in all directions - it faces a second part: an A frame of housing that "protects" the more intimate activities of the gymnasium.
