Through the initial analysis, we detected the main problems of the region, which are the lack of green spaces, liquid elements, and rest points with the element of nature. Our main design tool was the combination of two grids, which were placed on the top view of the plot, we experimented, and we came up with various visual escapes towards the different points of interest.

The composition consists of two buildings, separating the use of the auditorium from the rest of the facilities of the department.

Outdoors at the ground floor, there is a path with aromatic plants, which leads to a downgraded square. At the ground floor of the main building is the foyer, the cafeteria, the exhibition hall and a library facility, which are much more open in comparison to the upper levels. There are several places on the ground floor where rest points are created, emphasizing on the element of nature.

The 1stfloor is used exclusively for the labs, the printing center, and the materials center.

The 2ndfloor is used for lectures, and offices. The usages split was done in such a way that no uses interfere with each other, while the floor positioning was done based on ascending privacy level. Regarding the layout of the internal spaces, we chose an open plan logic, with large communal spaces, which offer comfort in the usability of the building. Moreover, a garden is placed on the roof of the exhibition hall, increasing the presence of the element of nature.
