University building at Piazza Brunelleschi
Project/ The layout of the Square is defined by the meeting of two roads: the first runs parallel to Via degli Alfani and affects the orientation of the University cloisters; the second follows the slope to the S. Maria Nuova hospital.
Covering an underground car park, the new square is bordered by a stone wall and is designed to be a secluded area inside the city. Standing at right-angles, the university building is in the same area as the Square and the Silvani Cloister.
The ground floor has a large glassed-in loggia which houses the reception area and a cafeteria; the archives, conference room and offices are situated on one side internally and they are separated by courtyards and patios. The new entrance to the library, a small outdoor amphitheatre and a plane of water covering the underground exhibition room, are situated on the public side.
