Article source: CNLL Located in the middle of a school and sports complex, this building differs from the other schools as it offers a wider programme, catering for primary and middle school children. This exposed concrete building with scattered windows is characterised by a simultaneously sober and contemporary language. It has clear and objective lines, free from superfluous elements, where the careful relationship between solid and empty spaces creates a pure composition and a symbiotic harmony between the parts and the whole.

With its generous proportions, this corridor is both a place for meeting and permanence, as well as fulfilling its key role as the main circulation area.

At the extremities of this axis are the exceptions: at one end is the indoor play area, at the other are the sports complex and the social areas.

This means the needs of the school will be met over time, as it will have some flexibility, and the building can be used by the community for a number of activities.
