Academic Center at Francisco de Vitoria University

STACKED BARS — The building’s geometry begins with a simple arrangement of four bars stacked one above the other, efficiently organizing the required program. This configuration reflects a functional approach to the layout, where each bar builds upon the next to maximize the use of the available site.

TRIANGULAR FORM — The central bars are rotated 45 degrees, transforming the stacked volumes into a triangular footprint. This shift creates terraces and outdoor spaces between the levels while giving the building a distinctive identity within the campus.

TERRACES — Stacking and rotating the bars creates a series of terraces at different scales. These outdoor spaces support a range of activities, from informal meetings to outdoor study and group events, extending student life beyond the interior of the building.
