The project starts from the initiative of the European University to implant its new urban headquarters in Valencia in an ideal place according to the values of the entity. The Old San Juan Bautista Asylum has great potential thanks to its location, very close to the historic centre and next to a backbone that connects the city, which is the old Turia riverbed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The intervention proposal is developed based on the needs of the academic institution, focusing on certain organizational and functional parameters such as the versatility and efficiency of spaces.<\/p>

“The new EU Campus is a very special project \u2014 on the one hand, because of the uniqueness of its location, in the heart of Valencia next to the old Turia riverbed and very close to several points of cultural interest; and on the other, because of the building itself, which boasts exceptional architectural and interior quality that the intervention seeks to respect and enhance to the fullest.” \u2014 Ram\u00f3n Esteve.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOne of the premises the project is based on is the respect for the existing architecture, enhancing the valuable elements that tell the history of the building. In order to maintain that essence, we have created a harmonious dialogue between original and new materials, avoiding excessive contrasts that would distort it.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The areas for the classrooms have a double fa\u00e7ade, so they connect both with the exterior garden and with the interior cloisters, which are considered not only as circulation areas but also as places for staying and sharing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Common areas play a major role in the new EU campus, full of both indoor and outdoor areas designed for user interaction; these areas for working, socialising and resting are  <\/span>located in an urban but independent environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Extension<\/b><\/h3>

In addition to the rehabilitation of the building, the project includes the implementation of a newly-made annex building.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLocated to the west of the plot, the extension uses the same parameters as the rest of the project and is compositionally adapted to its environment. Its architecture dialogues with the rest of the complex, maintaining certain aspects such as materiality, chromatic range, compositional rhythms and size of gaps.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
