Sited on the outskirts of Logroño, the capital of La Rioja region, the Technology Transfer Centre integrates several academic environments – a national education centre dedicated to IT training, a technology transfer centre dedicated to IT research and development and an incubator for IT related businesses – in a single organisation with shared functions, without losing their separate identities. The building’s aim is to integrate the landscape into the building’s spaces. A series of ramps and terraces extend the interior spaces to the outside and provide solar protection for the fully glazed façades. The roof of the building forms a public promenade over the River Park, connected to the city level on either side by lifting bridges. The building’s volume is surrounded by a green canopy which produces a shaded microclimate around the transparent volume: a glass box under a vineyard.
