The assignment consists of the design of a social and cultural facility for the pre-school and school students of the Colegio Cabo de Hornos, located in the urban sector of the Colina Commune, in the north of the Metropolitan Region, Chile. The 8,140 m2 building has a multidisciplinary vocation of Catholic orientation for 1,400 students.
To paraphrase Khan: The “school” is any place that satisfies man's desire to learn, that inquires into the essence of the human race, into the relations between men and between man and nature (...).
Giurgola, Romando; Louis Khan, works and projects.
Editorial Gustavo Gili, Barcelona 1979, pp. 93-94.
Complying with the classic requirements of Education, Marsino Architecture propose to add a new variable to the program, through the playground, the student makes use of a series of playgrounds where the student through the use in place, can identify its history and environment in which it has been formed.
Part of these spaces are rooted in the culture and pre-existence of the context in which they are, others function by having a more evolutionary character, belonging to the conscious change of the growth of the city and the factors that determine it directly influenced by the fabric of the city. It is intended that in this field of various “games” the user clarifies and identifies his character with one of these parts of the school, and uses this tool as a means of expression.
The parts destined to the direct link with the teacher, the Classroom, are articulated to the courtyard, through a colorful path that promotes interaction, this space is specialized to promote the casual encounter, to reunite teachers and students, where the child feels comfortable, and can ask the teacher something he did not understand in the classroom.
The structure of this school is made of reinforced concrete with prestressed slabs, durable elements that allow for future modifications of the interior area composed of partition walls if the program needs it.
