Medical School building facilities on campus

Context:
The project takes advantage of the orographic context of the site and its descending slope in a North-South direction.
The main entrance is situated at the level of the main pedestrian axis running East-West that structures the campus, the solution thus allows all users to benefit from a panoramic view towards the “horizon” and the open country to the south as a green “scene background”.
Concept:
The idea is thus to conceive a building from an initial volume, a compact parallelepiped, which is carved out by “subtraction” of its central section so as to create a “cloister”, a landscaped court which can be at the same time a space for meeting, for contemplation, for meditation, for study…
The volume is separated vertically by “division”, into two blocks leaving a “covered open place” at street level representing the “heart” of the new building, open simultaneously to the external landscape and onto the inner garden below.
