The Project
The project takes place on a surface of around 9,500m, and comprises five buildings of various sizes, all interconnecting with bridges and pedestrian passageways. Apart from the lecture halls, the laboratories, the reading rooms and the administration offices, the complex contains multi-level technologically advanced studio with space for 375 students, an auditorium with a state-of-the-art audiovisual system and an exposition gallery.

All the buildings look out onto a central courtyard that, as was intended by the architect, should favour relationships between students, and the latter and the faculty personnel.
