Topography and the architectural ensemble are inseparable in the siting of the Biomedical Sciences Research complex at the University of São Paulo Medical School. The main bar is positioned at the highest elevation of the site, while the wings branching from it are adapted to the terrain.

From the main bar, intended for administration, classrooms and teachers, there are three transversal to it, whose program is entirely laboratories. The specificity of the three-slide program led to the logical occupation of spaces, in the distribution of laboratories according to their functions and programmatic demands. All the bars are solved in concrete structure.

From a large square, which accommodates the topography, access to the entire set is centralized on the ground level, under pilotis.
