The unconditional University An Architectural Proposal for a Knowledge Society

Description (deu)

Nowadays, universities are in danger to become a dependent branche of economies and industry. The project is a proposal for a 21 century university campus in Vienna. As knowledge gets much more comprehensive and complex, universities are experiencing dramatic shortages of available space. The architecture being proposed is an educational framework which links single institutes together into a greater whole. It is neither completed, fixed or defined. Separation of the various parts as we now know will disappear, internal ones as well as between the university and its urban surroundings. It will be the opposite of the oxbridge campus model where science is meant to occur in a segregated city far from the rest of the institution. The relation and interconnectivity between the new The Unconditional University and the city of Vienna is the fundamental driver and backbone of the scheme.
