The new school complex, from the settlement and architectural point of view, is characterized by the use of simple geometries and a constant relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. This approach allows to achieve high architectural quality and high environmental, energy and economic sustainability.
The building consists of 2 floors above ground and a partially underground floor, with main access from Via 8 Marzo. The two volumes are arranged along the east-west axis and are moved horizontally following the morphology of the ground, respecting the indications of the Administration. This approach also allows proper ventilation and natural lighting of the interior, also thanks to the design of the basement volume cover, as a large space of relationship and leisure used as Agora of meetings, representative of the school community, an open and flexible space at the service of the school’s activities, articulated by a game of full and empty spaces, a strategic place capable of hosting educational, recreational, sports and collective activities.
