The plan entails the construction of 4 faculties (Medicine, Pharmacy, Medical Sciences, Dentistry) and a building for General Services including a large library. The customary horizontal relationship between open and built space is challenged; by leaving the ground free, the buildings allow the flow of connectivity. The result is a sort of east west oriented spine by which the life of the campus is literally elevated. The spine provides access to the faculties, the general services and the largest classrooms; the garden becomes a real outdoor extension of the working/studying areas. The architecture presents a double character: the exterior stone facades give the building an introverted appearance from the street, whereas the interior’s glass panelling gives it a more extroverted look from the courtyards. Vast water surfaces, fed by collected winter rainwater, isolate the external fronts of the buildings producing scenic effects and indicate that life develops entirely inside. A further climatic filter will be constituted by the abundance of flourishing Mediterranean vegetation.
