DON'T MISS:

THE LEARNING GARDEN


2012

After an earthquake shook Cavezzo in May 2012, two structures were rapidly built to respond to the emergency, each one different from the other.

 

Our proposal for the new school extension responds to the fear generated by the earthquake not by covering up the school with impenetrable structures but, instead, by creating a more natural design that allows in more light. A space with a strong but flexible connective character where multiple activities can be carried out.

 

The area between the two schools will become a large inhabited greenhouse with a roof made of glass frames.There will be new laboratories, educational gardens, a multi-purpose room and a sports hall, all surrounded by trees and in visual continuity with the existing buildings and the outside.
