Complying with the organization outlined in the campus plan, the teaching tasks of the Faculty of Medicine will be carried out on two floors, which minimises vertical movement.
The research areas and departments will occupy the highest section of the building, the towers, whose presence will be felt from the traffic ways that surround the sector. The Faculty of Medicine that is presented here must be definitive evidence of the possibilities that the proposed general organization offers.
In this way, from an orthogonal external perimeter, the longitudinal buildings interconnect with each other and, in the areas where there is movement, they become distorted until they end up reaching the greatest formal singularity in the towers for the departments, which will be ultimately responsible for the final image of each centre.
