Slumbered Sleep

Research Center ICTA-ICP / H Arquitectes + DATAAE
Space Layout
The building was created with sustainability in mind from
the beginning. The building has two basement levels and
five above-grade ones. A lobby, a cafeteria, various classrooms
and meeting spaces, and the administrative offices
are located on the main ground level. Offices and laboratories
are located on the three floors above, with kitchen gardens
and breakout areas on the roofs. The machine room,
the parking lot, the other laboratories, and the storage
areas are located in the basements. The building is built to
store heat in the winter and release it in the summer because
the offices and laboratories are warmer spaces. The
center’s infrastructure is adaptive and can alter depending
on how it is used. (Joan Pascuets, 2022)
