research laboratories, the art, architecture and photography archives and the teaching rooms are distributed between the ground floor and the two upper levels, while the roof houses a large hanging botanical garden. The garden is bordered by a reflective compluvium, covered in its internal layers with a mirror material which, like a metaphor for a new kaleidoscope, reproduces the magic and infinite multiplication of images of vegetation and seasons. The load-bearing structure is made up of modular systems of reinforced concrete pillars and beams, while the façade is punctuated by prefabricated panels in polished pink concrete.
