" ]8 I7 h7 E, b! G! Z/ V The project developed a compositional idea which, as well asconstructing the central axis of the Riu Sec Campus, aimed todefine a teaching space that turns sensory pleasure into a vehiclefor knowledge. , {8 z/ t$ n: u' E
These were the stated objectives, so the central axis would notonly be the articulating element but would also become anattractive meeting place for the students, with places for walking,meeting up and taking a break, but as in any other part of theUniversity, without forgetting its rôle in the acquisition ofknowledge. It is based on a system of a certain complexity, laidout along a directional course and composed of alternating,differentiated beds, together with a system of planes and volumesthat combines this directionality of lines with the search for afinal perspective where large-scale masses of vegetation willconverge and be particularly prominent in due time. The perspectiveand depth of the axis is structured by using botanical species thatrise from the beginning to the end in a steady crescendo, aided bythe slope, finishing with the tallest, most voluminous species,placed in a balanced way on either side but without lapsing intoformal symmetry.
