Text description provided by architect.
THIS VERY COMPACT EDUCATIONAL COMPLEX IS MADE UP OF:
- A nursery wich base covers the entire plot
- A punched roof
- A primary school, thin volume with an high ground floor
The trees, growing through the roof, connect both of the schoolyards. Refering in a playful way to a box of coloured pencils, the volume is covered by a discontinuous skin of wood also used as solar protection in front of windows and filter for the covered playground.
