The building is conceived as a solid volume that, through curved elements in its design, softens its visual impact and avoids the rigidity of an orthogonal prism. These curved forms create spatial continuity, both internally and externally, transforming the user’s perception. Large openings in the interior circulation areas allow natural light to enter, connecting the building to its surroundings. The façade, textured with white brick arranged in non-flat patterns, softens the weight of the closed volumes. Additionally, wooden and methacrylate slats surrounding the openings protect the carpentry, provide thermal control, and smooth the transitions between closed and open spaces.
The design is inspired by fine arts, aligning with the campus’s center of activity. The architectural program prioritizes the user by creating functional, comfortable, and clear spaces. The northern façade, the main one, takes advantage of the views of the Sierra de Bernia, integrating a viewpoint into the ground floor hall. The apartments for faculty are also oriented north, ensuring privileged views. Patios are incorporated on the first floor, connected to offices and circulation areas, allowing zenithal light to enter and creating garden spaces. On the ground floor, the patios enhance the connection between the interior and exterior while concealing machinery and creating dynamic textures through light and shadow effects.
The southern façade serves as a service area, with access for loading and unloading artworks via a freight elevator connecting to the first floor. The main entrance, designed as a display window, allows visitors to view exhibition samples from outside.
Regarding materiality, creative use of brick is proposed to generate textures in blind areas and lighten the building’s mass in the patio zones. Wooden and methacrylate elements protect from sunlight and complement the design of the openings. A ceramic tile pavement connects the interior to the building's perimeter surroundings, while the auditorium features wood finishes.
The project aims to achieve an A-level energy rating by combining passive strategies, such as reducing façade openings and using sunshades, with active systems housed in enclosed patios. The building’s compact design and the envelope’s optimization contribute to energy efficiency, aligning with the project’s sustainability goals.
