Soran University East Library Building
Soran / Iraq , 2015
The Soran University East Library Building is located on the east side of the campus with a slight slope on the hillside of the campus.
The long and distinct mass of the building, which is perceived by the road elevation, gives the impression that the structure can be a library structure.
This large mass that comes from the lower level and incorporates students with a slight slope, opens the ground floor completely, creates a large public space and blends with the slope around the structure and forms different terraces. The library mass of the building is designed to be as high as possible and to offer a unique topography view.
Soran University has appointed Austria-based Chalabi Architects & Partners to make a new campus master plan in a difficult topography and in an area with a dramatic horizon and landscape in almost all directions, by the slope of a very deep canyon. With a total closed construction area of 600.000m2 revealed as a result of the needs program made during the design process by the university, the buildings are projected by the cooperation between 4M Salalı Architects and rggA in accordance with the principles adopted at the stage of master plan. Currently, construction of campus roads and infrastructure works are started.
In this context, rgg Architects carries out the Architecture Preliminary, Final and Application Projects of the Faculty of Law, faculty of Engineering and Laboratories, Physical Science and Sci. Labs, East Library and 4 dormitory buildings.
