This school building was designed to ensure the most modern teaching standards, in line with new seismic construction criteria and current energy performance requirements, thereby reducing operational and maintenance costs.
The design included a comprehensive analysis of the school site, carried out through the study of the planimetric and altimetric characteristics of the plot, with the aim of optimising the available space.
The school is characterised by a distinctive curvilinear trapezoidal shape generated by a central core that acts as the “heart” of the building. This core is defined by a stepped seating area clad in wood, used as an auditorium or in support of ongoing teaching activities, around which all educational functions are developed. This space benefits from abundant natural light coming from a skylight that echoes the shape of the building itself.
Overall, the school is defined by solutions consistent with bioclimatic architecture: solar-gain glazing, brise-soleil systems, and green areas on the southern side to help reduce surface temperatures. All external windows are made of thermally broken aluminium frames with safety glass, low-emissivity/selective glazing, and integrated shading systems.
The entire project was conceived starting from the specific needs of a school environment. For this reason, natural materials with high recyclability were chosen, ensuring durability, wear resistance, and ease of maintenance over time.
Finally, particular attention was given to acoustic control between rooms and in common areas, in order to guarantee excellent sound insulation and adequate acoustic comfort.
