INNOVA SCHOOLS

The project consists in a new proposal for 3 schools, where the main idea is to reduce the construction footprint, in order to provide the students more open areas.

The school is conceived as a longitudinal four-story building with classrooms on both sides, divided by an interior half roofed courtyard, which alternates multi-storey voids along all levels, ensuring natural light and a correct and necessary crossed ventilation. This courtyard is used for circulation and generates different spaces for socialization, recreation and pedagogical activities that complement the current curricular school system.

Additional to the new space concept, the project’s approach is to create a contrast between the configuration and materials of the facade (exposed concrete structure, exposed concrete blocks) and the painted interior walls with colorful furniture.

The architectural program consists on classrooms, laboratories, administrative and service spaces, multipurpose fields and green areas according to the property availability.
