Text description provided by architect.
The expansion and redevelopment of High School in Monserrate recovers part of the existing building and a series of new equipment buildings.
The pre- existence ( now classrooms and workshops ) releases the remaining land for the new buildings in a second longitudinal line that draws from the main street.
This option allows the use of the new buildings by the community during non- academic periods.
The creation of this second longitudinal line causes the definition of three outdoor spaces , they reflect the equipment that they are adjacent ; the first defines a exterior space for lunch tempered by a water mirror ; the second ( recreational ) contains an outdoor auditorium and the latter located next to the gym, defines the outside playground .
