Text description provided by the architects. The project for the new University of Engineering and Technology (UTEC) building is located in a lot in the district of Barranco facing Malecón Armendariz on the oceanfront, Almirante Grau Avenue, Medrano Silva Street and Enrique Barrón Street. The project consists of reinforced concrete structural plates perpendicular to Malecón Armendáriz, among which the different project environments such as classrooms, laboratories, offices, gardens, etc. are developed. The geometry of the structural plates with an "A" section and the composition of the volumes responds to the search of Grafton Architects to create a "man-made cliff", a topography that is integrated with the surrounding environment. The project includes green areas for student use on various levels and creates attractive interior circulations for the user.
