For some time now the Rice School of Architecture has been assisting representatives of the Autonomous University of Guadalajara in the preparations of a Master Plan. One concept which has found favor with planners is that of using an indigenous construction system – namely, roofs and floors of very flat barrel vaults of brick, supported on a structure of contemporary design – as an architecture and structural feature of the campus buildings. The purpose of this report is to present an evaluation of this construction system to the campus planning team for their use in the preparation of their plans.
