A<\/span>lvisi Kirimoto<\/a> unveils \u201cThe Dome\u201d \u2014 a new hub surrounded by greenery for the LUISS Guido Carli University<\/a> campus, designed in collaboration with Studio Gemma, near Villa Ada, in the heart of the Parioli district of Rome. The intervention, which completes the university spaces and enhances the surrounding green areas, involved the demolition of an existing shed, subject to landscape constraints, construction from scratch, and the expansion of an educational building.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The hub, developed across two levels, and with a total area of 1,500m\u00b2, is positioned in the most accessible and picturesque point of the complex landscape, near a small wooded area to the south of the lot, in the last extension of the park and the campus main square. The project stems from the idea of raising the volume to put it in direct connection with the treetops, freeing up the ground floor as much as possible. The latter houses the entrance, a classroom, and service areas, while the upper floor encompasses an amphitheater and two classrooms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Surrounded by greenery, and with a permeable and transparent skin, the building seems to dissolve into the landscape, evoking the classic tree house from which its outline is derived, but also the welcoming, almost \"homey\" dimension of its spaces, custom-designed for the students.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The interiors have been carefully designed to ensure greater versatility for hosting various educational activities, as well as cultural, artistic, and social events, including conferences, gala evenings, and film screenings. The amphitheater \u2013 designed for multiple uses \u2013 and the classrooms, designed to redefine the balance between face-to-face teaching and remote learning, are equipped with sophisticated audiovisual conferencing systems that are perfectly integrated into the architecture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

A cross-flight staircase connects the two levels internally via a double-height space, while a third staircase connects the first floor with the outside. The ground floor, visibly set back, further underlines the lightness of the upper volume and creates a simultaneously open and covered space, equipped for courses and outdoor activities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The colors, textures, and materials of the project were chosen with the same sensitivity: the shades of the metal cladding and the scratched plaster mix with the warm nuance of the wood in a balanced game of references and contrasts. Inspired by sustainable design principles and made of natural materials, the building has earned prestigious LEED Platinum Certification.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The suspended acoustic panels that define the false ceiling of the amphitheater, with a coral red color, draw attention from the outside, while their organic silhouette reinforces the dialogue with the adjacent grove. The same striking red characterizes the furnishings and some elements of the classrooms, a refined detail that provides the entire complex with great visual coherence, particularly when the building comes to life in the early evening. The outdoor spaces have been redesigned with stabilized gravel flooring, while a deck path, protected by the shade of a row of holm oaks, connects the grove area with the square. All the outdoor areas have been equipped and designed to encourage study, informal meetings, relaxation, and play, offering infinite possibilities for aggregation and great flexibility in use. Resembling an enormous telescope that projects out over the greenery and watches over the square below, the project by Alvisi Kirimoto has become the new focal point of life on the university campus.<\/p>\r\n
