The main architectural problems were those of centralization or dispersion, considering the local conditions and new trends in universities throughout the world, towards intensity and integration. The final decision was that the campus proper should be as compact as the climatic conditions allowed, while the residential quarters could be situated at some distance from the campus, the students' quarters within bicycle distance and the staff quarters in motoring distance. The core and the various faculties, on the other hand, are in easy reach and walking distance of each other, providing students and professors with ample opportunities for informal personal contact.
