The project was created specifically for minimal interventions on the existing structures. The project proposes a compact volume with a pitched roof that adapts itself in order to connect and integrate with the existing building. The idea is the one of a complex single building, rich in exchanges between fluxes and functions. All trees in the courtyard are preserved and activity islands are created around them with a rubber colored pavement, this way all the outdoor functions of the school will be fulfilled.
