Department of health, Consumption and Social Services
Two buildings, whose volumes and position are determined by current regulations, intended for use as the seats for the Aragonese Provincial Government for the Departments of Health, Consumption and Social Services. They are situated in two land plots adjacent to Via Universitas.
The internal organisation defining the communication areas giving an open appearance to the different floors allows not only for the program of necessary criteria but also for any modifications which may become necessary. This attention to flexibility results in the strict modulation of the floors and technical roofs and the elements for screened doors
The eight upper floors of Building 1 are destined for the Departments of Health. The independence of both buildings is derived as much from the location as from the part of the program which they take on. This is blended by the connection which is established between the two buildings in the basement -1 and on the second and third floors via a glass walkway.
The proposed constructive system has decided the material makeup of the two buildings. There has been used a system for closing the facades via a type of wall panel is known as “breathing wall” with panels 3,30 metres high and 6,40 metres long fixed between the structural reticula completed with sun protection situated in a ventilated hall at the same time making a purified control of the sunlight possible giving the building a changeable character due to the variation in tones produced by these elements.
