The humanities buildings are designed as reversed pyramids which provide protection from the monsoon rains and the glare of the sun. This system coincides with the functional requirements of each floor. The lower ground floor and ground floor contain offices and service rooms; on the first floor are the large seminar rooms and on the top floor, the even larger class-rooms. The three humanities buildings are connected by two lecture halls and pergolas which define interior courtyards between the buildings.
