A longitudinal volume with dimensions close to the famous cruiser Potemkin was created as a result of the complete program and clear design specifications. Prior to the building's design, the pavilion's considerable contents were matched with the scale of the surrounding structures and the vistas from the campus in which it appears. The proposed concept is based on the functional differentiation of the student pavilion's contents into public (public) spaces and private (private) spaces (rooms) by breaking the pavilion corpus into four smaller ones that are on the scale of existing pavilions and connected to them by a broken geometry bridge. The supplied format's expanded capacity has been rebuilt into four "stand-alone" student rooms "immersed" in public spaces. The cracks that formed between the formed volumes of student rooms are filled with the remaining, public contents of the dormitory - communications, dining rooms, living rooms and classrooms, through which beams of light reach the hallway, cutting it into spatial sequences that give it dynamism. The dynamics of indoor and outdoor spaces are set in relation to the facades of adjacent buildings, pedestrian flows and campus views; student square, access from Vukovarska Street, parking and the central space of the campus with a canteen in its focus. These areas are encased in a glass envelope with integrated solar cells, which allows for outward looking while simultaneously highlighting the internal dynamics of employing outside views. The energy concept of the pavilion is additionally strengthened by solar collectors, a retention tank of gray water, which are an integral part of the design and unobtrusively provide energy to the pavilion.
