EPFL Quartier Nord, Student Housing [Architecture in the age of acceleration, EPFL]

Atrium student housing is a successful project for different reasons. First, the different parts of the building are articulated with their environment thanks to a complex system of transport connecting the building with the city. Thus, the ATRIUM can be reached easily by metro, bus, bike and by foot. Secondly, the building stimulates and dynamizes the site around it through its program by providing a variety of services such as shops, restaurants and supermarkets located on the ground floor, generating an interface between the building and the public space. Thirdly, the building is accessible through many entrances, making it very porous. Finally, what is remarkable is the way the building manage to generate transitions from the public place and the students' bedroom.
