Article source: Estudio Arquitectura Campo Baeza We built a square box composed of nine smaller squares. The center square emerges to bring light from the heights of the vestibule. The classrooms are arranged in the surrounding squares.  Image Courtesy © Marco Zanta

Open to the sky, four courtyards are created that suggest the four elements: air, earth, fire and water.

The courtyard spaces, tensed between the curved and the straight walls, are particularly remarkable.

The children have understood the building well, and a book has even been published of their impressions. They are happy there.
