 Linda a Velha Primary School By grounding the building through its library and hosting the school on the upper floor we develop a public park on the ground floor, whose limits the building defines, which allow us to bring public life into the visual (but not functional) core of the school and thus creating public space that serves the surrounding neighbourhood.  Linda a Velha Primary School Consequently, by locating the school and kindergarten in just one level we easier its functional organization, avoiding up and down movements inside the school, and directly connecting the whole floor with the levelled playground on the upper side of the site.
