Description:
Topographic planning of the
site is done using parallel
roadways and successive
terraces that colonise the
slopes without affecting their
nature, within a progressive
transition from a net urban
city environment to the
grassland parks that colonise
the countryside
Both, the proposed architecture
and development, have a
clear symbolic component
for recovery of traditional
building typologies and
landscape.
Materials such as black slate
from Bierzo for walls and the
sandy walkways reinstate a
natural relationship with the
environment, as well as the
application of muddy
concrete that characterises the
buildings and which is also
used on the steps of the
development site in
combination with Celta black granite pavements and linings.
Lastly, a continuous, green and
natural perimeter space is
defined. This borders the
University premises up to
Santo Tomás and integrates
the existing flowerbeds as a
continuous and gardened
"belt", as a preview of the
Campus' naturalist and
pleasant vocation.
