The article addresses a conceptual architectural proposal for the Faculty of Economics at the University of Panama, consisting of a new two-story building, suited to the growing demand for graduate and continuing education offerings at the Faculty. However, the design presents a degree of complexity because it must meet the functionality and service expected of the Faculty's professionals and at the same time preserve the architectural language of the modern movement present in the Faculty's buildings dating back to the 20th century (1953).
