BIOSIS has been chosen to assist The Government of Greenland with developing the strategy and masterplanning of a new Technical Campus Greenland in the city of Sisimiut.
Phase 1 establishes an ‘Axis’ that connects the existing and new buildings in a campus-like structure. The axis consists of a raised bridge building that connects the northern part with the southern part as well as the KTI, the Minerals School and the Iron and Metal School. The iron and metal school is placed lifted on the northern ridge, allowing the raised connection. Under the bridge building, an ascent / descent is established that connects to the landscape. The raised location on the ridge provides a good basic level connecting both new and existing buildings with two main entrances from the North and South, respectively.
The further expansion strategy is based on a building that establishes an inner movement loop over time. The entire building will stand as a raised ‘arctic ring’ that wraps around an inner landscape space. As in phase 1, ascents and descents are established under the raised building bodies that connect to the landscape and the arrival from here.
