Clinic Research Building

The purpose of the building program is for Laboratories (animal facilities), an Institute of Investigation and Surgical Innovation, an Area of Image, and a Reserve. 

It will be formed by two volumes. The horizontal piece will be all the scientific work program (investigation and innovation), while the vertical piece will contain all the administrative program and the spaces of relation.

The cover of the horizontal volume acts as a facade of the building that evolves like an extended cloak. This skin floats and adopts soft and fluid forms that evoke the image of the sea.
