These memories, that accompany them for their whole life, depend very much on the Architecture because it makes possible to change into joyful what could be, sometimes, only sad or melancholic memories. The purpose in this project was to have a clean, bright and cheerful building.  Image Courtesy Arquitectos Ayala

Image Courtesy Arquitectos Ayala The building extends itself along the street, closing with low walls and behind little yards covered with lawn that could be used as open air classrooms in this area where the weather is fine almost all around the year.From the point pof view of a pedestrian, from the street outside, we can see the fence walls and the low two-floor blocks where the classrooms are placed, which are oriented towards the North and the East, using the third floor for the workshops, the library and the teachers’ rooms, looking to the interior part of the plot with the far and beautiful views of the Gredos’ mountains.
