The existing school was built in the 60’s, developed
on a site terraces, planted with 40 years old trees, and
has a clear view of the horizon in the southeast. Real assets, it’s
about not only to preserve it but to enhance it in the directions
of the new project .
The re-statement of outdoor unit fits in a general
unit site / local area that exceeds the issue of
rehabilitation by the inclusion of rich and complex backgrounds.
The square of the school, run by the construction of a new reception
building, offers a filter between the outside and inside.This is
supported by a cross tillage (set of steps) between the
new building and the multipurpose room below.
A generous foyer creates a new centrality in a double-height interior
space, light irrigated by a planted patio, opening
on to the slope. The building classrooms, rehabilitated by
widening its circulation by sets of faults light, retains
its central supporting structure. Dressed in alleyways, it acquires a
new status. Its underside is a sheltered courtyard at ground floor
and houses the technology center within the flexible translucent forms.
The courses, restaurant, function room and sports
facilities are now connected by a ramp - walk that
links the different levels of the site, and allows to understand
the backgrounds available.
The objective here is to reveal and to optimize the
qualities of the land and existing buildings to establish a
real strong presence in the restructured building site.
