Ventura Terra University Residence - University of Lisbon / CVDB arquitectos

"Text description provided by the architects. The project for the Ventura Terra University Residence - University of Lisbon is conditioned by the necessary building density, given the proposed program, and by the limits of the lot and the maximum height defined in the Detailed Plan. Between the residence and the existing cafeteria building, a pedestrian path is created to connect the higher street to the north (near the Faculty of Architecture) and the lower street to the south."

The Ventura Terra University Residence at the University of Lisbon is designed around required building density and the program’s spatial needs within the lot and Detailed Plan maximum height limits. The site organization balances residential massing with regulatory constraints to accommodate the proposed program while fitting the parcel footprint and height envelope. A pedestrian route between the residence and the existing cafeteria establishes a clear north-south connection, linking the higher street near the Faculty of Architecture to the lower street to the south. The pathway improves campus permeability and pedestrian circulation between academic and service buildings.
