UNIVERSIDADE ACOSTINHO NETO

摘要

seeking to centralize higher education and retain talent, the government of Angola funded the construction of a new university campus, designed by Perkins+Will, on a previously undeveloped savanna site outside the capital, Luanda. The architects created a pinwheel master plan, concentrating the recently completed first phase-including a new central library and four classroom buildings-at the center of the site, with room for expansion along the "spokes." Cooled by natural ventilation, the classroom buildings are linear concrete bars oriented to capture prevailing winds.
