Description

The project is an extension of the existing campus, designed according to the principles of sustainability and energetic efficiency. The disposition of the volumes is optimised in order to guarantee the best overall thermal performance.

The envelope is characterized by overhangs and sun shading elements that guarantee a correct solar control, and therefore provide adequate comfort for the classrooms in the summertime. The use of a wooden structure and the employment of eco sustainable materials are key elements that define ‘’Capuana’’ as a relevant example of Italian educational bioarchitecture.

Focus

The use of natural materials and the adoption of cutting-edge technical solutions turns the school into a virtuous example of bio-architecture.
