Metropol is perceived as a completely organized system. Its balance is being disrupted by implementing a new program in the middle of the object.  The existing organization is therefore changed, and horizontal and vertical communications become equal. The enlarged hallway becomes the extension of the basic living unit, and  the original distinction between public and private spaces is now blurred. By leaving the privacy of his room, student gets immediately involved in social life of the building. Second important aspect of the project is the new envelope around the building. It includes the existing structure and forms […]

 
The main idea, that the project aims for, was to create a continous open space in the center of the Metropol. By removing the building’s core a visual link between the Boulevard and the park is assigned. Since the terms of reference required the hotel to be transformed into a students’ dorm, the whole space is devided in two elements: The first is the kernel, the public space diffusing from the core of the Metropol.

They are united in one inner layer, and then each of them is continued by forming one student room per one level.  These towers become the new silhouette of the city, the main concept of the project. The goal […]
