University of Tripoli – Dental Faculty

The new Faculty of Dentistry is the southern part of a new complex that includes the Faculty of Technical Medicine with facilities shared by both faculties. The combined facilities are central to the new complex and open up views from the east to the proposed central Library. The plan and treatment of the faculty is very much determined by its adjacency to this proposed keynote university building. In scale and mass, the new Faculty must not dominate and must create a suitable “back-cloth”. Equally the juxtaposition with the library and the ceremonial space which we will call the Library Court is fundamental and the link between the two has been a key driver to the design of the faculty.
