Description
The studios for architecture students are located in the southern low-rise block at NTNU’s university campus which was built in the early 1960s jointly with the two high-rise buildings, Sentralbygg 1 and 2. Since architecture students used large drawing boards at that time and drawings were often made with pencils, a high level of lighting was required. There were large skylights in the room that covered approx. 50% of the roof area. In the energy saving spirit of the 1980s – the roof was completely rebuilt. The large skylights were replaced with much smaller ones, which resulted in a dramatic reduction of daylight. The last modernization was done in one of the studios in 2015. It was based on the results of the “Daylighting” research project carried out at the faculty of architecture, NTNU, and financed by the Norwegian Research Council. The skylights were replaced with new ones having 3-layers energy glass, mirrored sidewalls and the translucent ceiling was specially designed for the location at high latitudes.
