A radiating sequence of independent rooms surround a grouping of shared spaces in the central body, fulcrum and centripetal reference for the organization of the spaces.
In this organic sequence, the spaces, although defined in their specific function, meld and blend in one to the other.
The result is an organic plan, which explores the greatest number of possible relations not only indoors but also outside, allowing an ample view of the school's surrounding green spaces.
The structure also aims to become a strong reference point for the residential area by promoting sociality and exchanges by means of a pedestrian path and a small square on the west side, which allows more private access to the school.
