Design Study for the Science-Technology Park 2

Design Study for the Science-Technology Park 2 on the site of the Mechanical Engineering Institute, Faculty of Technical Sciences

For planning the realisation of the Science-Technology Park 2 within the Novi Sad University Campus and on the site of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Technical Sciences, an architectural study of available spatial capacities was conducted. The study included a spatial verification of the required capacities of both users – the Science Technology Park and the Faculty of Technical Sciences, the relationship between these spatial units, and the spatial distribution of the required programs. Also, the study addressed the issues of the building’s urban layout within the framework set by the Plan for this area, which defines the number of floors, height regulations, the requirement for parking within the building, the degree of plot occupancy, and other parameters. Also, the options for the building design were examined in relation to the defined immediate and wider surroundings of the University Campus, an area of exceptional urban and architectural characteristics the Novi Sad Architectural design of the building, in the conditions of the defined immediate and wider surroundings of the Novi Sad University Campus, an area of exceptional urban and architectural characteristics, were checked. The urban layout of the building, in the central location of the campus, required a specific design strategy to accommodate all programmatic capacities without disturbing views or other ambient qualities. That is why the applied concept of spatial-programmatic organisation is based on decomposing the monolithic form as a direct response to the logic of the immediate environment and possible response to the design and construction conditions of the building in the given surroundings.
