Teaching pavilion "Virgen de la Arrixaca"

The building earmarked to be the Faculty of Medicine is tailored to the two scales which exist on the site, at the edge of the hospital enclosure; on the one hand the level of access similar to that of the other buildings in the hospital complex, and on the other, the chief volume of access opposite the open countryside which surrounds it. 

The great horizontal volume appears as a compact piece in local golden stone where the different spaces are transversally articulated around empty free spaces which serve as an external reference to the internal spaces. In the rest of the building the varying University departments are placed according to the longitudinal axis which are lighted through the empty spaces excavated in the volume and which are enshrouded in a second skin screen-printed in gold, which filters the light by using the reference of the stony texture used in the building, thus evoking a dialogue between the ways of limiting the existing volume of a transparent skin and another opaque one.
