Building Research Institute

Notes

The T-shaped building is constituted of three distinct parts:
The first part, that houses the entrance hall, comprises an auditorium for 250 people, exhibition spaces, and a library. These functions are distributed around a central court and occupy two stories.
The second part, also a two-story block, houses the workshops and two courtyards.
Perpendicular to this short part of the building, rises the office block with three additional stories.
