PUC TV

PUC TV is a College TV station connected to the PUC Minas (Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Minas Gerais). Its operation intends to provide professional training for journalism students. In order to increase the quantity and quality of programs produced, the university decided to offer a new headquarters to PUC TV. The selected site is on the heart of the campus in Belo Horizonte, located at the top of a small, green hill. The program has been defined jointly between architects and staff of PUC TV. The building contains the administrative sector and meets all the needs required for a tv station, mainly special technical facilities like a studio, editing rooms, control rooms and recording booths. It should give students the best tools to ensure their practical training. The program required the preservation of the structure of an existing building. Against this background the team has developed a solution in two blocks.
