THE FACULTY OF FORESTRY AND WOODWORKING, RAKOVÁ, ZA GRÚŇOM, SLOVENSKO

The faculty campus concept is based on natural motifs of trees and growth rings combined with traditional contour-based construction, allowing for sensitive integration into the landscape and terrain. The buildings appear as a natural extension of the surroundings, with materials and facade shapes reflecting tree bark and the local character of the environment. The main cascading building with a wooden skeleton and double facade made of perforated sheet metal creates a distinctive architectural element connected to the forest setting. The dormitories are visually divided into smaller segments using various materials, echoing the typical family housing in the area while providing a sense of community and privacy. The entire complex forms an organic whole that naturally fits into the terrain and harmonizes with the surroundings.
