Renovation of the old School “Our lady of the Rosary” in Torre-Pacheco, Spain by Martin Lejarraga ArchitectJuly 25th, 2014 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Martin Lejarraga Architect The transformation of the complex (buildings and surroundings) of the old School our Lady of the Rosary” into the new Centre CECOCRE has been made with a very special tool, a construction training Workshop for young people, composed of 37 members, who made available to the project the practical objectives of its program.

A proper reading had to identify the target program with existing buildings and crafts available. So we searched the restructuring of outdoor spaces by rethinking the vegetation around the sports facilities, so as to resume connections with the rest of EDUDIS complex, and installation services in the old classrooms were restored.

Paints used camouflage patterns to simulate the soft areas and harsh areas and provide domestic character with shades of color, the potential urban living.

The current configuration is a direct outgrowth of the work of these young actors. They were intimately involved in the process at the chance to access specialized training and employment. The architecture reflected the transformation literally they lived, and transmits that social vocation of the new program. Art and craftsmen are glad and proud of that petty miracle that is both cause and consequence.
