PUCP – SOCIAL SCIENCES BUILDING

The Social Sciences Building project is located inside the Campus of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP). The tower combines academic and administrative program, as well as social areas for students.

The building solves with a twisting gesture the different needs of the commission, such as the generation of raised terraces for students and solar protection; additionally, the raised terraces serve as elevated bleachers from which the events that take place in the plaza on the ground floor can be observed.
