The proposed building consists of the base, the plaza / garden and the “prism”. A tree-lined path passes through the sheltered “heart” of Medical School: the “Hippocrates Scape”. This garden coexists with the open meeting space, the plaza, which is the upper surface of the building’s solid base – where the laboratories are. Inside the elevated “prism” the public space develops into an open balcony that frames the garden. The prism’s perimeter spaces of classrooms and offices are enclosed by the perforated and transforming shell. The prism “hovers” next to the adjacent buildings, offering panoramic views while its form distinguish it.
