Multipurpose building and Research centre
Parc Mediterrani de la Tecnologia, Castelldefels
There is a contrast between the volumes and empty spaces (plazas). Each plaza is designed for a specific use. The largest one allows the students to rest or read under the shade of trees, take a walk, meet with friends, and even stage a little play or a lecture outdoors.
The multipurpose building has large span widths. It has no specific use but it is able to embrace activities like cultural or sporting events, fairs, exhibitions, lectures. There is also the possibility to connect the indoor area with the outside.
The research centre has a modular organization in order to be flexible and adapt to the different needs of the researchers. The public uses as the administration module and the bar are on the ground floor, and the auditorium and the researchers halls are on the upper floors.
