Transition and circulation spaces of the building have been thought as areas where to favor the interaction of the users and generate optimal conditions of illumination and ventilation. We understand the need to add in these areas rest and relax spaces, which become useful to the own area.

To give this function we choose to design elements which adapt to the special qualities brought from the own space, and try to give value to the local reality and to the artisanal work.

On the other hand, we wanted the function and shape of these elements to be adaptable to the existing spaces. To achieve this we opted to design cylindrical elements, realized in black steel cold rolled sheets, already used to finish the circulation areas in this part of the building.

The attention and care of exterior spaces has been a constant in the design and construction process of the Faculty of Health’s Science. The design of the garden roof, placed in the 3rd floor, aims to give bioclimatic property to the building, regulate the exterior temperature, and generate a meeting and resting space too. It has been designed selecting local species, medicinal plants and aromatic herbs.

This research meant to design some contemplation and recreation elements in the terrace, to favor the interaction between the users. These elements have shapes and material appropriate for the rest of the building and that can, at the same time, contribute to the integration of the structure in the landscape.

The elements, called “bench zero”, have been realized with white concrete, whose design and creation pursue the valorization of handcraft job of the actors involved in the construction process.

Bench in the stair

Furniture and equipment

With the intention to generate transition spaces which encourage the relationship between the users, illuminate and naturally ventilate the building, and relax and resting areas, some “meeting points” have been added around the circulation stairs.

The idea was to create a meeting space where the shape can fit the function and the ergonomics. This element materializes through the extension of the surfaces whose the vertical circulation spaces are made of.

In spite of using standard and prefabricated elements to grant the meeting area function, it has been decided to value the local arts and crafts, realizing on site an element that supplies this function, realized in black steel cold rolled sheets.

The idea of involving local actors and techniques introduces, from the construction process, a cultural and hereditary dimension which goes beyond the mere technical sense of the building. This can be shown with the aim to humanize the “production process”, diminishing the effects of a totally industrialized system that does not need the human intervention, and choosing systems which prefer the technique instead of technology. This underlines the silent presence of craftsmen whose accurate job gives personality and uniqueness to the building and its spaces.
