Unusual University in Lindholmen

By the beginning of the school year, all students have already decided on their educational institution and have already visited the first couples. What criteria do we pay attention to most often when choosing a university? Of course, it is specialization, location, prestige, reputation, etc. But as for the building itself, where do you study? This is often the last thing to think about. Let’s take a look at this unusual building in Lindholmen, Sweden. The building itself already makes it clear that it will be interesting to get an education here.



The University of Chalmers Campus in Lindholmen is painted in bright colors, with a dynamic geometry of design and a variety of angular elements. The stunning building pays homage to the Italian Renaissance, bringing together the past and the future.

The modern Swedish structure is based on a cylindrical model of buildings that during the Renaissance were built on city squares. The facade of the bold building resembles a geometric mosaic, letting sunlight through a group of colored windows.

Much of the project was designed by Wingardh Arkitektontor, including the structurally complex facade that serves as the face of the university. The simple white campus interior puts emphasis on corner walls and irregularly shaped lines.

The main feature of the building is its energy efficiency. It uses a series of rotating screens that collect light and create shadow. Chalmers Campus in Lindholmen is an ecological green structure with its own architectural consciousness.
