the building is organised around a large cloister plateau located in the university campus, providing an outdoor area where small concerts are improvised.

to deal with the aggression of the acoustic environment, the building was studied to protect the school from noise due to its strong presence in the urban context.

the north side of the volume is arranged in two levels, to provide an acoustic barrier to the cloister, while allowing for outdoor classes in the sun.
