The educational and department units condense by specialities onto compact vertical structures with independent access. These generic volumes find an optimal position in the campus guided by urban estructure lines and adpating their form to relationships between the program, accessibility and the landscape around. Public programs face the main campus squares while seminars and departments localize on the top and intermediate floors opening towards the Prater, the old city and the Danube through relaxing exogenous spaces. This complex geometry defines the structural elements allowing generous glass surfaces performing light and thermal control devices. The internal spaces amplify the geometric potential with a filtering system of window behaviours relating their size and position to the students flux and activity.
