This project rises from the necessity of developing a common roof capable of separate its two very different uses. Direct investigation of animals, and the more traditional lab investigation.

The difference in uses its visible from the outside of the building, where a “closed box” of one story of height saves with zeal the animal, like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry did in his novel, “THE LITTLE PRINCE”

The investigation area in the lab, without animals, is clearly different from the other, by staying perpendicular and gaining height and opening to the outside landscape; the knowledge is no longer “enclosed”, but outside.

A complete open vestibule, with an almost ephemeral character, where the air is the only common element that attach both worlds.
