UAM Campus Piracicaba
The Universidade Anhembi Morumbi Campus in Piracicaba occupies a plot along a secondary urban expansion axis in the southern part of the city. The building, with its horizontal form, directly dialogues with the slop of the surrounding landscape. The intense Brazilian solar radiation is mitigated by a fully encompassing system of vertical concrete slabs, prefabricated to enhance sharpness and exactitude in the attachment system. A ceiling pergola in concrete and smaller wooden elements acting as sun blades optimize the natural ventilation and light.
All educational spaces are situated along the longitudinal glazed façades to take advantage of the natural light and are oriented towards the large-scale central atrium, embodying the buildings’ core social identity and its essence as a place for encounters, human connection, and knowledge exchange. Moreover, the campus features an innovative energy management system to prevent refrigeration waste and enhance the efficiency of the roof chimney effect.
