Armonía Habitacional: El Confort de la Transición Campus Universitario

Abstract

Helsinki is the capital of Finland, a country located to the north of the European continent, close to the North Pole, where the environmental temperatures are extremely low, there is only a three-month period of sunny weather per year, which generates difficulties when designing, planning and guaranteeing conditions of habitability and comfort inside and outside the city's buildings. On the other hand, the University of Helsinki, located in the Vikki district, has a variety of buildings with established uses for residence and academic life, as well as spaces for environmental protection, care, and conservation. Academic faculties are located within the campus as well as animal research centers and bird watching, so it is necessary to ensure the conservation of those areas to the established uses, so as not to incur future impacts on the ecosystem of the campus. However, it requires improvements in its public and private spaces and buildings, in order to increase its academic population in the future, enhancing the use of the activities that can take place between the interface of public and private areas, without neglecting to guarantee conditions of comfort and habitability.
