This is one storey free-standing building.
Its volumetric configuration meets a clear program of needs which organizes
building use into two different volumes that separate two main working areas. Therefore, a grouping of
applications was suggested so that the overall management of building would be
as clear as possible: a building organization in two distinct but united clear
parts where each one assumes a specific function. An L-shaped piece unites the most
public uses of the centre such as multi-purpose room and the open outdoor patio.
The uses of services and offices are configured as a separation between the
spaces of the School (classrooms, halls, etc.).
The other volume of parallelepiped
geometry organizes classroom spaces, toilets and rest areas. It embeds into the
L shaped piece thus creating a space between which can be used for movement
among different areas. This obtains an L-shaped volume, gradually
becoming U-shaped when it integrates in the outdoor pergola. It is restrained
by joint façade which closes the building by outside and opens it into a
central space from where the playground and other recreational areas for
children are organized.
Nursery school considers the use of
outdoor spaces as a very important part of school life development. The classrooms have a direct connection
with outside, with a large outdoor patio; therefore they are visually connected
through large glass windows, which besides give direct natural light and
ventilation. A covered patio is used as an
extension of multi-purpose room thus enabling the recreation of children
regardless of the weather.
