If Architecture is in charge of configuring human acts, we propose that the main act to be carried out in the FAE Building is to wander, as a tool to facilitate the integral formation of "good citizens" in the Aristotelian sense, capable of assuming positions of leadership in the tasks of the State and society in the long term.
A community promenade is proposed, a circular peripatetic ambulatory, where the ramped corridors no longer simply lead to places, but rather are places, as Careri says, that concatenate study spaces with socialization spaces in a sequence, beginning in the Plaza de entrance, continuing in the central patio, the terraces and balconies until reaching the roof terrace with gardens to observe the campus, the city and the territory from the 7th or 13th floor.

The evolution towards a more conscious architectural experience of the inhabitant, which in our practice we call the transition from the architectural Object to the Subject of architecture, implies the decision to approach the unforeseen projectually.

The heterogeneous or hybrid image of the FAE building tries to dialogue with the urban context that surrounds it, incorporating popular elements such as the snail trade building, the pedestrian bridge and the circus tent, in the same way, the non-finite image of the building or in process of transformation that admits future modifications and additions, are part of an adaptive strategy and reflection of our mestizo origin.
