Design Campus: Faculty of Architecture

The New Campus of the Faculty of Architecture - Industrial Design of the University of Florence was created as part of the recovery plan for the requalification of the former Pasquali industrial area. Located towards the Carpugnane Park, it simultaneously represents an observation point and a landscape scenario. The geometric order and harmonious composition of the façade are the prelude to the entrance to the internal square where the different activities are taking place: the lecture hall, the cafeteria, the entrance to the rooftop garden, the underground levels and the park. It offers a crossroads of paths, a meeting and living place for students and citizens. On the first floor, the documentation space, classrooms and teaching workshops are organised around an ' elevated square' consisting of several terraces, an open-air staircase and a roof garden.
