SMACS : modelling urban 3D environment (MURE)

Abstract

OsloMet University is planning to close its campus in Kjeller in 2023 to create a new campus in the Romerike region. This change aims to improve and strengthen the synergies between the university and different companies in order to train students professionally, as well as to improve the quality of the campus in terms of accessibility and location, university life and even teaching. Four students from the European Project semester had the opportunity to take part in this project and propose a solution to design a potential new campus of OsloMet University based on an analysis of the people's flow from an existing building. This report shows the path followed during the whole semester, from the working methodology, the research, the contextualization and analysis of information and data to the final proposal: the creation of a tool to help in making decisions about the design and layout of the new campus to improve the people's flow and take advantage of all the available space. A hypothetical proposal has been developed of how the new campus could be distributed, providing three factors of flexibility in terms of location, number of people and rooms and versatility in the use of the available spaces. To show this in a visual way, a 3D model has been designed that allows you to enter the building and visualise how each of the floors that make up the campus are distributed.
