The project, to be built in several stages, favored the development of a public space square as mortar buildings that define edge; It is a square surrounded by elements that contain two buildings (classrooms and open theater) and a long canopy: buildings that act as street macro-furniture: a ramp building, a stand building and a canopy building.

The square and all buildings are developed on a relative high level in relation with a busy and noisy street.

The classroom building has a ramp-balcony overlooking the square below connecting classrooms with top level.

The steps of the outdoor theater are an extension of the square in its inside; in this way, even without practices or events, the theater provides the space and additional shadowed seats, picking up the elements of the stage. A great acoustics curtain ends up closing the theater if function. The opening of the theater pursues the will of being linked to the public space and not become an autonomous and autistic piece in its environment.

An urban canopy eventually closes the square.
