Description

Art Science Department Building, Osaka University of Arts

El nuevo edificio para el Departamento de Ciencias del Arte se emplaza en el Campus de la Universidad de Arte de Osaka. This is the new Art Science Department building which recently opened within the Osaka University of Arts campus. Teiichi Takahashi of Daiichi-Kobo Associates designed and built this campus over a span of thirty years. It is set on a gently undulating, long and narrow hill with all its buildings, roads and plaza interconnected. The new building is situated at the forefront of the campus and lies at the top of the hill as one approach the campus. Surrounded by lush greenery, it affords a vista of the city and the mountains in the distance.

The request was to create a building that housed a lab and studio to be shared with students of other departments, lecture halls, faculty research labs, and digital art galleries with dark change feature. Envisioned was a building that corresponds to the topography and blends in with the natural environment as it stands on a leveled site cut out of a mountain. Specifically, a single hill-shaped roof was dissected into three layers, allowing light and breeze to flow through the openings and to form a bright and airy expanse beneath that connects and integrates with the exterior environment.
