Schools in Palermo - Italy

Project idea

The general idea is to design a permeable, transparent and bright school, a civic center, open many hours a day, where the spaces are used by the students and the community. We tried to create spaces, that can be transformable in other function, with the idea of the hybridation of the space.

Project description

The sign of the project is returned by the scoring tree, green areas, courts, paths, skylights a urban palace, a commisce of open and closed spaces, reserved private and public areas.
The project meets the 3 schools: kindergarden, primary and medium (secondary of the first grade) and a unique regulation gym, but divided to allow the sports activities of different schools at the same time.

Technical information

The new school is perfectly integrated in the urban space, and, through the grid created by the agronomic pitch of the citrus trees, we have received the design of the blocks.
