The Atrium

This was a group project at Lancaster University, responding to the 2023 Evolo Skyscraper competition brief. The Atrium is a mega-structure designed as a central hub to harbour community and combat loneliness. “Atrium” is the Latin word for “central courtyard”, the socialising and gathering area in Roman homes. The structure is formed by a residential area and community spaces with workshops and activities available to both residents and public. People new to the area or those who feel disconnected and lonely would use the accommodation to establish a community before settling elsewhere in the city.
