The school extends from the village limit into a sea of vineyards of the Penedés
region, south of Barcelona. The volume, structured in two different wings, is split
into several pieces by intermittent interior courtyards. Courtyards that gather the
different classrooms and circulation space around them. Multiples openings
perforate the courtyard facades, forming a permeable limit and visual connection
with the surrounding landscape.

Two materials, both concrete products, different look. On one side, a raw
concrete bloc (used also to form lattice walls) and on the other side a concrete
polymer panel, bright, colored and shiny with a texture that refers to the
surrounding landscape.

A building designed deliberately with elementary materials, almost without any
coating, prepared for students to appropriate their walls.
