The project of “Brain Technology Center” by Vojtech Geryk of Sfera Archtects, is an experimental research center dealing with neuroscience. This project aims to create an interactive learning environment that should offer a way to improve or regenerate brain activity. The center with its own focus should build on existing research centers around, which has been involved in neurosurgery and neuroscience. The project program presents new interactive training environment as a way of regeneration and improving of brain activity.

The design is creating a landmark in the park. Building activates topology of the surrounding by the modification of the ground which follows geometry of the building. Elevated pavilions present one of the key spaces from the interior as a continuing piano nobile floor pointing to the treetops. Ground floor of this project presents interactive park environment under canopy which offers different outdoor activities for park visitors, such as sound therapy garden, yoga terraces or sports performing fields. It is a blending of the building into the park on one side and it is a iconic landmark on the other side.

Massing strategy deals with two architectural languages – horizontal slabs and vertical solids. Both components have major impact to the topology design of the park. Terrain activates terrain in the spots where solids touch the ground. Orientation and position of those components follow visitor’s circulation and cardinal points. Main entry is located on the south, in close relation to the parking place and UCSF campus.

The project is done at Studio Greg Lynn, University of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria.
