As a result of a recent program by FDE, Foundation for the Development of Teaching, the primary and secondary state schools built by the Government of the State of São Paulo have in common, as the choice of their constructive system, the industrialized components, the room program and the leisure areas, the articulation between the spaces and the intention to create a comfortable place, with qualified architecture for the occupants of the schools and the teaching practice, combined with a extremely low budget.
Since the beginning, the intention was to create a large integration between the public and the semi-public spaces, between the internal and the external sides. Thus, the complicated site was treated so as to provide a large access square to the school which, when their doors are open, is transformed into an agreeable space of gathering for the community. This space is complemented by the rest of the ground floor of the building, which has a multisport court, a covered multi functional space for several activities and a recreation space in the back part of the lot. During the weekends, all these articulated spaces serve as a leisure area for the local population that is so much in need of this kind of space.
