HEALTH SCIENCES FACULTY in Zaragoza, Spain by Taller Básico De ArquitecturaDecember 6th, 2013 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Taller Básico De Arquitectura The new Health Faculty of San Jorge University is located on a campus on the outskirts of Zaragoza city. Although it is a rural campus, the nature in it is scarce. The forest along the campus is the result of a man created operation. The surrounding buildings, the Rectory and Communications Faculty, respond to a contemporaneous architecture that lives besides that nature.  Image Courtesy © Taller Básico De Arquitectura

The new faculty is not only another building; it becomes part of the new place. Architecture is thought as part of a new nature.

Inside, on two floors, classrooms and laboratories are organized for teaching and research. Each scale catches the light needed for each room.

Light coming through scales can be controlled, so digital technologies can be used inside rooms. The minor creases of each line contain the most public rooms of the new faculty: cafeteria, conference room and multipurpose rooms.

The square gives access to the three lines. Lines look at each other through the square, which discovers the inside of this mineral complex. The inside and outside relation of the faculty gets inverted. The concave outside happens to be the most interior room, and the convex inside becomes the most exterior place. The mineral nature of this faculty in San Jorge University offers a new landscape of white scales breathing light on the outside, and it offers a big room opened to the sky on the inside.
