Abstract

AbstractThe paper presents the design and construction of the new Faculty of Psychology in Málaga, Spain, by LLPS Architects. The project offers an interesting example of the relation between structure and architecture, based on a singular configuration of a composite steel‐concrete structure, which responds in a coherent and attractive way to the architectural configuration. The building is formed by a massive and compact three‐heights volume of 90x100 m. Two main architectural features determine the structural configuration: the interior courtyards, that measure 18x3 m., and are disposed in staggered arrangement to allow the entrance of natural light; and the cantilever of the above‐ground volume, that creates a large column‐free covered space.
