Abstract


This project includes two buildings, each of three storeys. One of them houses the administration offices, and is 60.96 x 48.77 m in surface dimensions. It accomodates 450 staff members. The other, which is 48.77 by 32.92 m in planform, has a research department, laboratories, lecture hall and auxiliary services. The structure of this building is noteworthy, and is made with precast reinforced concrete elements. The perimeter supports have an audacious design, and their rough, grey texture is left uncovered. This new Centre of Research and Administration, which gives the observer a sensation of elegant simplicity, has contributed to maintain and emphasize the rural quality of the environment.
