Description
The project presents a mixed program to build a school, a gymnasium, but also incorporate a third element: encouraging biodiversity. It has been designed as part of a particularly innovative program, environmentally speaking. The concept of the building relies on the development of a primary landscape which would draw its textures and components from the wider landscape in which it is set.This project may well signal the start of a new trend: striving to return biodiversity to the heart of urban areas. More than any other project, building a school is an opportunity to rethink the fundamental conceptual connections between poetry, education and nature, drawing inspiration from new aesthetic impulses. Thus, the building takes up the challenge of recreating a fully functional ecosystem as a place of learning, a space where local children will go to fulfil their potential, but also a social hub for local residents.(Description provided by the architects)
