The design of the new A. Diaz primary school in Corva springs from a strong relationship with its natural and urban context, particularly with the Meduna riverbed located in the immediate proximity. The main objective is to rebuild the relationship between the city and the natural environment, overcoming the idea of closed and self-referential school buildings to create a permeable architecture capable of communicating visually and conceptually with the surrounding landscape. The school thus becomes an element of connection between the natural and the urban, welcoming the external qualities of the place and turning them into educational value.
The integration of innovations in education, the environment, and renewable energy is fundamental. The project promotes sustainability and energy efficiency through a direct relationship with the river landscape and vegetation, making this relationship perceptible and tangible for students. The teaching spaces approach the natural environment in a controlled manner, thanks in part to the widespread use of vegetation: plants, climbing vines, shrubs, and grasses characterize the facades, making the building a recognizable landmark both toward the city and toward the courtyard.
From an architectural point of view, the school adopts a light and welcoming style, avoiding any connotations of massiveness or severity. While maintaining a compact volume, functional in terms of energy efficiency, the building is covered with a entilated “skin” composed of vertical and inclined metal lements, which create a texture that is permeable to light and sight, evoking the image of a protective nest. Architecture and teaching merge into a single system, in which the building elements become educational tools.
Integration with the urban and social context is ensured by the permeability of public functions. The ground floor houses reception, play, entertainment, and lunch areas, which are transparent and accessible to the community even outside school hours. The school opens onto Piazza San Bartolomeo and the small square of the former dairy, becoming a natural extension of the public spaces. A large portico protects the entrance and articulates the relationship between the city, garden, and sports hall, offering places to rest, meet, and enjoy cultural activities.
The heart of the project is the reception area, which acts as the functional and spatial hub of the building. Here, the auditorium steps transform a recreational space into a multifunctional nvironment, suitable for performances, readings, conferences, and lectures. The library takes on the character of a ‘diffused library’, integrated into the corridors and hallways, transcending the concept of a corridor and becoming a place of passage, rest and shared learning. The conscious use of these spaces teaches respect, silence, care and integration. The internal layout clearly separates teaching and service areas, ensuring safety and efficiency. The classrooms, all located on the first
floor, are oriented to favor uniform natural light and overlook green screens that improve students' perceived comfort,
further strengthening the dialogue between architecture, nature, and teaching.
