Description
The project for the new school complex in Forte dei Marmi stems from a process of integrating the teaching experience within a landscape with a marked rural character. The silhouette of the roof recalls the movement of the Apuan Alps, a green horizon that covers and protects the school premises.
The functional layout establishes a continuous dialogue with nature and optimizes the flows inside and towards the building. The new school complex presents itself as the repository of an open and shared heritage of knowledge that goes beyond the physical boundaries of built architecture, inserting itself into the social fabric as an emotionally connoted reference.
