Kuggen is the new university building on the Lindholmsplatsen in Gothenburg, Sweden, designed by Wingårdh Architects. The real innovation of this project lies in the choice of materials and colors that make Kuggen a fun and eco-sustainable architecture. The real strength of the building is in fact the facade characterized by a succession of ceramic panels of various chromatic shades while the windows presented an unusual triangular shape. The overall shape of the building is also very particular: a six-storey cylinder that seems to be composed of large toothed wheels of different widths!
L’Kuggen university building it is not only characterized by aarchitecture original and innovative but also eco friendly. The energy consumption of the structure is in fact satisfied thanks to a photovoltaic system placed on the top floor of the building while the hot water is supplied through a solar thermal system placed on the roof of the building.
